After retirement, Dr. Johnson and his spouse, (Dr. Avon Hart-Johnson) co-founded a 501c(3) non-profit organization called DC Project Connect (DCPC). This non-profit organization largely provides services on a pro bono basis to families and children affected by incarceration. This book is dedicated to the selfless caregivers who watch over children affected by parental incarceration.
