In "A Raisin in the Sun," the Johnsons are the white neighbors of the Younger family, specifically the character Karl Lindner. They represent the societal pressures and racism that the Younger family faces as they aspire to move into a predominantly white neighborhood. Lindner offers the Youngers money to not move into the new house, highlighting the themes of racial discrimination and the challenges of pursuing the American Dream. The Johnsons serve as a symbol of the broader societal resistance to integration during the time period of the play.
