James Weldon Johnson (center) looks on as Roland Hayes, a black lyric tenor, is awarded a medal for achievement. uring the Harlem Renaissance in New York, James Weldon Johnson was truly a "renaissance man." During his varied career, Johnson wrote over two hundred songs for Broadway shows, worked as a diplomat in South America, and ran the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Harlem during the 20s. In addition, he was an attorney, poet, novelist, and educator. As a young man, James Weldon Johnson spent two summers teaching black schoolchildren in a poor section of rural Georgia. This experience had a profound effect on him. Through his poetry, music, and political activism, he dedicated his life to improving the status of other African Americans. In the early 1900s, musical theater often stereotyped blacks. In response, Johnson and his brother wrote songs that portrayed a positive image of African Americans. One of their songs, " Lift Every Voice and Sing ," was later recognized in the African-American community as "the Negro National Anthem." While working as a diplomat in Latin America, Johnson wrote a novel called THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN EX-COLORED MAN. Later, as editor of NEW YORK AGE, a newspaper for blacks, Johnson promoted the idea that African Americans could improve their situation through self-education and hard work. GOD'S TROMBONES, one of his most famous books, features sermons by an intelligent but unschooled preacher.

Strangers to Us All Lawyers and Poetry James Weldon Johnson Used with Permission of Florida State Archives James Weldon Johnson was an African-American poet, novelist, public school teacher, principal, diplomat, critic, historian, journalist, and lyricist. He founded the first African American newspaper, the Daily American and was the first national executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He served as U. S. Consul to Venezuela and Nicaragua. Johnson is today associated with the Harlem Renaissance. Johnson was the first African-American admitted to the Florida bar. During two summers of his college years, Johnson taught in rural Georgia schools. After graduating from the college division of Atlanta University in 1894, Johnson taught for a year at the Stanton School in Jacksonville, his old grammar school, and the school where his mother had taught for many years. Then, at the age of twenty-three, he became its principal. Before leaving Stanton, Johnson had decided to try his hand as an editor and publisher. With savings and borrowed money he founded the

The Collection of American Literature The James Weldon Johnson Collection Patricia C. Willis Founded in 1941 by Carl Van Vechten, this collection stands as a memorial to Dr. James Weldon Johnson and celebrates the accomplishments of African American writers and artists, beginning with those of the Harlem Renaissance. Grace Nail Johnson contributed her husband's papers, leading the way for gifts of papers from Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Walter White and Poppy Cannon White, Dorothy Peterson, Chester Himes, and Langston Hughes. The collection also contains the papers of Richard Wright and Jean Toomer, as well as smaller groups of manuscripts or correspondence of such writers as Arna Bontemps, Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay, and Wallace Thurman. The richness of the collection is suggested by representative manuscripts: Richard Wright's Native Son , Jean Toomer's Cane , Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God , W. E. B. DuBois's "The Renaissance of Ethics," his thesis with annotations by William James, James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-colored Man and God's Trombones , and Langston Hughes's The Weary Blues . Examples of the abundant correspondence are letters between Owen Dodson and Adam Clayton Powell, Joel Spingarn and W. E. B. DuBois, Georgia Douglas Johnson and William Stanley Braithewaite. The early history of the NAACP is documented in the correspondence of Dr. Johnson and Walter F. White. Also present are music manuscripts by W. C. Handy, J. Rosamond Johnson, and Thomas "Fats" Waller, among others.

Republished in 1927, at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, with an introduction by Carl Van Vechten, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man became a groundbreaking document of Afro-American culture; the first first-person novel ever written by a black, it became an eloquent model for later novelists ranging from Zora Neale Hurston to Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. Narrated by a man whose light skin enables him to "pass" for white, the novel describes a journey through the strata of black society at the turn of the century — from a cigar factory in Jacksonville to an elite gambling club in New York, from genteel aristocrats to the musicians who hammered out the rhythms of ragtime. The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man is a complex and moving examination of the question of race and an unsparing look at what it meant to forge an identity as a man in a culture that recognized nothing but color.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS PUBLIC AFFAIRS FOUNDATION ... DONOR RELATIONS INDUSTRY CLUSTER CAREER CENTER PUBLICATIONS "Lift every voice and sing 'til earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea." From "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James Weldon Johnson James Weldon Johnson As a precursor, participant and historian of the Harlem Renaissance, James Weldon Johnson had as much to do with the rise of that cultural movement as any one person. Indeed, he was the epitome of the classic Renaissance man himselfpoet, composer, author, government official, teacher and influential civil rights activist. Johnson's mother sparked his early interest in drawing, literature and music. Consequently, Johnson as lyricist and his brother Rosamond as composer wrote and staged musical comedies and light operas from 1901 to 1906, producing such enduring songs as "Since You Went Away" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing," now widely known as the black national anthem. This remarkably versatile man crowned his contributions to society by becoming field secretary for the fledging National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1916. As a social thinker, Johnson was an early advocate of Booker T. Washington's self-help philosophy. But he later supported the NAACP's frontal attacks on segregation and discrimination, organizing the 1917 silent protest parade in New York City that condemned the massacre of blacks in East St. Louis and fighting for passage of the 1921 Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, during 14 years of NAACP service.

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man [James Weldon Johnson] PREFACE This vivid and startlingly new picture of conditions brought about by the race question in the United States makes no special plea for the Negro, but shows in a dispassionate, though sympathetic, manner conditions as they actually exist between the whites and blacks to-day. Special pleas have already been made for and against the Negro in hundreds of books, but in these books either his virtues or his vices have been exaggerated. This is because writers, in nearly every instance, have treated the colored American as a whole; each has taken some one group of the race to prove his case. Not before has a composite and proportionate presentation of the entire race, embracing all of its various groups and elements, showing their relations with each other and to the whites, been made. It is very likely that the Negroes of the United States have a fairly correct idea of what the white people of the country think of them, for that opinion has for a long time been and is still being constantly stated; but they are themselves more or less a sphinx to the whites. It is curiously interesting and even vitally important to know what are the thoughts of ten millions of them concerning the people among whom they live. In these pages it is as though a veil had been drawn aside: the reader is given a view of the inner life of the Negro in America, is initiated into the "free-masonry," as it were, of the race.

The Making of Harlem By JAMES WELDON JOHNSON Click on an icon to view a full-size image. IN the history of New York, the significance of the name Harlem has changed from Dutch to Irish to Jewish to Negro. Of these changes, the last has come most swiftly. Throughout colored America, from Massachusetts to Mississippi, and across the continent to Los Angeles and Seattle, its name, which as late as fifteen years ago had scarcely been heard, now stands for the Negro metropolis. Harlem is indeed the great Mecca for the sight-seer, the pleasure-seeker, the curious, the adventurous, the enterprising, the ambitious and the talented of the whole Negro world; for the lure of it has reached down to every island of the Carib Sea and has penetrated even into Africa. I am informed by John E. Nail, a successful colored real estate dealer of Harlem and a reliable authority, that the total value of property in Harlem owned and controlled by colored people would at a conservative estimate amount to more than sixty million dollars. These figures are amazing, especially when we take into account the short time in which` they have been piled up. Twenty years ago Negroes were begging for the privilege of renting a flat in Harlem. Fifteen years ago barely a half dozen colored men owned real property in all Manhattan. And down to ten years ago the amount that had been acquired in Harlem was comparatively negligible. Today Negro Harlem is practically owned by Negroes. I shall give three reasons that seem to me to be important in their order. First, the language of Harlem is not alien; it is not Italian or Yiddish; it is English. Harlem talks American, reads American, thinks American. Second, Harlem is not physically a "quarter." It is not a section cut off. It is merely a zone through which four main arteries of the city run. Third, the fact that there is little or no gang labor gives Harlem Negroes the opportunity for individual expansion and individual contacts with the life and spirit of New York. A thousand Negroes from Mississippi put to work as a gang in a Pittsburgh steel mill will for a long time remain a thousand Negroes from Mississippi. Under the conditions that prevail in New York they would all within six months become New Yorkers. The rapidity with which Negroes become good New Yorkers is one of the marvels to observers.

Johnson also wrote poems and in 1900 his brother, John Rosamond Johnson, added music to Lift Every Voice and Sing . It was a great success and in 1901 the brothers moved to New York and over the next few years they wrote over 200 songs for Broadway musicals. President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him as United States consul to Venezuela. Three years later was given a similar post in Nicaragua (1909-14).
