The story sounds good, but the logline is way to long. Try giving us the antagonist, protagonist, ok conflict, action, then possibly the ending.
the logline, should have not more than two line, the really summary of your story.
Rated this logline
True, the logline could be a bit more condensed (who does what and faces what problems), but the topic is clear as historical events are involved. I wish the project every success!

The log is a a bit unclear. The exclamation "...during the Great Depression to Escape Slavery!" does not track. Johnson was born in 1911. Though there was endemic racism during his lifetime, the Civil War ended slavery per se.
If it were true, the construction is backwards: "...to escape Slavery during the Great Depression!"
