Here is, to quote the eminent historian Nathan Irvin Huggins, one of the finest American autobiographies written in this century. Born in 1871 in Jacksonville, Florida, James Weldon Johnson began his career as a high school principal. He went on to attain success as a songwriter on Broadway and as the compiler of the definitive Book of American Negro Spirituals. But he achieved one ofhis greatest triumphs in 1912, when, under a pseudonym, he published The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man -- a classic novel about a musician who rejects his black roots, a novel that is still in print today in no fewer than five paperback editions. Johnson was, from 1920 to 1930, the first African American head of the NAACP, fighting tirelessly for the passage of a federal anti-lynching law. HiThis text is the autobiography of James Weldon Johnson, a remarkable man who triumphed over a system of institutionalized racism to become a celebrated educator, lawyer, diplomat, newspaper editor, lyricist, poet, novelist, essayist and reformer.
