About The Author
James Weldon Johnson
James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) was a prominent author, lawyer, educator, diplomat, and early civil rights leader. He was also the author of “The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man”, originally published anonymously. In 1900 he wrote the lyrics and his brother, Rosamond, composed the music for “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is still widely sung today and has come to be known as the official African American National Anthem.
