Dr. Johnson’s Philosophy and Hip-Hop class has been one of the most transformative experiences of our semester as his students. His passion for connecting philosophy to everyday life has challenged us to think differently, sparking debates and insights we’ll carry far beyond the classroom.

When we heard about the fire that destroyed his whole home and all their belongings, our entire class felt called to act, knowing how much he’s given to us as a teacher and mentor. Now, we’re giving back, hoping to ease the burden as he and his family rebuild, just as he has helped us build new ways of seeing the world.
