Mrs. Johnson
Mr. Johnson is Marie Johnson’s father and Mrs. Johnson’s husband. He is suspicious of Margaret when she arrives on his doorstep, and he remarks that he told Marie not to go to the protest, arguing that PAOs (persons of Asian origin) would not take such a risk to defend her. He eventually warms to Margaret and asks her to put his daughter in a poem.
