In this autobiography, Johnson provides a window into life as a black man in the United States, describing race relations battles and his own triumph over prejudice. He became a professor at Fisk University, served as consul in Nicaragua and Venezuela and was the first black executive of the NAACP.

This book is an emotionally gripping novel of a landmark in black literary history and, more than eighty years after its original anonymous publication, a classic of American fiction. It's influenced a generation of writers during the Harlem Renaissance and served as eloquent inspiration for Zora Neale. In the 1920s and since, it has also given white readers a startling new perspective on their own culture, revealing to many the double standard of racial identity imposed on black Americans.
James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) is recognized alongside W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington as one of the most respected interpreters of the black experience.
