About James Weldon Johnson

James Weldon Johnson was a groundbreaking author, educator, lawyer, civil rights leader, and the first African American executive secretary of the NAACP. He is best known as the lyricist of the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a hymn of resilience, faith, and unity. As a poet, diplomat, and cultural leader during the Harlem Renaissance, Johnson used his platform to elevate Black voices and reshape American literature and politics.
