    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Johnson, James Weldon 1871-1938, American author, b. Jacksonville, Fla., educated at Atlanta Univ. (B.A., 1894) and at Columbia. Johnson was the first African American to be admitted to the Florida bar and later was American consul (1906-12), first in Venezuela and then in Nicaragua. In 1930 he became a professor at Fisk Univ., and in 1934 a visiting professor at New York Univ. He helped found and was secretary (1916-30) of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His novel Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man (1912), published anonymously, caused a great stir and was republished under his name in 1927. Among his other works are the words to Lift Every Voice and Sing (1900, repr. 1993), which has been called the African-American national anthem, God's Trombones (1927), African-American sermons in verse, and Black Manhattan (1930). He wrote songs with his brother, John Rosamond Johnson See his autobiography

    Extractions: 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. 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.

    Extractions: "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.
