His earliest published songs were issued in 1893, and one of his earliest stage jobs was with Sam T. Jack's Creole Show , the first African-American show to break from the strict minstrel tradition of all male performers. Cole also performed as an actor and directed the All Star Stock Company at Worth's Museum in New York, the first such company organized by African-Americans. When he was 27 years old and performing with Black Patti's Troubadours, Cole was engaged by the Troubadours' producers to write an entire show with Billy Johnson, his first collaborator. After a dispute over ownership of his music, Cole and Johnson left to organize Cole's own company. Elaborating on his early short sketches, he created a full-length musical which was performed off-Broadway in New York's Third Avenue Theater during the 1898-99 season. A Trip To Coontown was the first musical entirely written, performed, produced, and owned by African-Americans. Unlike other black entertainments of the time, Cole's production had a book and lyrics that could sustain a dramatic subplot. After the show closed, Cole and Billy Johnson broke off their working relationship, and Cole met the two men with whom he was to create his most successful songs.

    Extractions: U.S. Government James Weldon Johnson Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Fla. on June 17, 1871. He attended Atlanta University, where he wrote over 30 poems while a student. At graduation ceremonies in 1894, Johnson gave the senior address for his graduating class. After Atlanta University, Johnson returned to Jacksonville, Fla., where he became principal of that city's Colored High School. At the same time he studied law, and in 1897 Johnson became the first black admitted to the Florida Bar. After practicing law for a short time, Johnson returned to Atlanta University to obtain a master's degree in 1903. From 1900 to 1906, he and his brother collaborated in composing over 200 songs, including what many consider the black national anthem, " Lift Every Voice and Sing ." In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt named Johnson U.S. consul to Venezuela, a post he followed that of consul to Nicaragua. In 1917, Johnson obtained a doctorate from Talladega College in Alabama, followed by a doctorate from Howard University in 1923. In 1916, he began working with the NAACP, and in 1920 became the organization's executive secretary. In this role for the next ten years, Johnson was an ardent fighter for federal anti-lynching laws. Throughout this and the two earlier decades, the multi-talented Johnson also wrote poetry and prose, including The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man

To James Weldon Johnson writing was a serious but secondary interest. Johnson's main concern was the NAACP, and he served from 1916 until 1930 as its field secretary. Johnson also had other interests and even a variety of careers. Born in 1871 in Jacksonville, Fla., he was the principal of a primary school there. He was the founder of The Daily American , the first black daily newsletter, and was admitted to the Florida bar in 1897. Johnson and his brother, Rosamond, wrote successful Broadway musicals; he served as consul to Venezuela and Nicaragua during the administrations of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. He edited The Book of American Negro Poetry (1922) and The Book of American Negro Spirituals (with Rosamond, in 1925), created the seven black sermons in verse that make up God's Trombones (1927), and wrote his autobiography, Along This Way (1933). He also authored

His poem "O Black and Unknown Bards" (1917) asks: Heart of what slave poured out such melody Though still about his hands he felt his chains. Of mixed white and black ancestry, Johnson explored the complex issue of race in his fictional Autobiography of an Ex- Colored Man (1912), about a mixed-race man who "passes" (is accepted) for white. The book effectively conveys the black American's concern with issues of identity in America. Index

Johnson is regarded as an influential black American author whose novel The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (1912) impacted the work of later writers concerned with the nature of racial identity. Seen as an accurate sociological depiction of the lives of black Americans by his contemporaries, Johnson's novel is today viewed as a complex work providing an ambiguous psychological study of its anonymous title character. Although literature for Johnson was only one aspect of an active and varied professional life, he produced accomplished works in several literary genres, including the novel, conventional and experimental poetry, popular songs, literary and social criticism, and autobiography. As a poet, Johnson is best known for God's Trombones (1927), a collection of seven poems which capture the rhythmic and spiritual essence of traditional black sermons. He is furthermore recognized for his groundbreaking editorship of

There they worked as songwriters, having already collaborated on the well-known song “Lift Every Voice and Sing” (1900).

    Extractions: Publisher : Knopf Publishing Group First published anonymously in 1912, this resolutely unsentimental novel gave many white readers their first glimpse of the double standard — and double consciousness — that ruled the lives of black people in modern America. Republished in 1927, at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, with an introduction by Carl Van Vechten, The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man became a groundbreaking document of Afro-American culture; the first first-person novel ever written by a black, it became an eloquent model for later novelists ranging from Zora Neale Hurston to Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. Narrated by a man whose light skin enables him to "pass" for white, the novel describes a journey through the strata of black society at the turn of the century — from a cigar factory in Jacksonville to an elite gambling club in New York, from genteel aristocrats to the musicians who hammered out the rhythms of ragtime. The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man is a complex and moving examination of the question of race and an unsparing look at what it meant to forge an identity as a man in a culture that recognized nothing but color.

The second of three children, Johnson's interests in reading and music were encouraged by his parents. After graduating from the school where his mother taught, Johnson spent time with relatives in Nassau and in New York before continuing with his education. While attending Atlanta University, from which he earned his A.B. in 1894, Johnson taught for two summers in rural Hampton, Georgia. There he experienced life among poor African Americans, from which he had been largely sheltered during his middle-class upbringing in Jacksonville. During the summer before his senior year he attended the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where, on "Colored People's Day," he listened to a speech by

When men ask artists, not "Are they black?" but "Do they know?"W. E. B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk 510 "To the general American public," James Weldon Johnson claimed in his 1928 essay "Double Audience Makes Road Hard for Negro Negro or Negroid: see race. Authors," the recent appearance of "the Negro author" on the lists of the best publishers and the best-sellers must seem "a novelty, a strange phenomenon, a miracle straight out of the skies" (408). He used nearly identical phrasing two years later to describe the emergence of modern Harlem at the outset of Black Manhattan (hereafter BM), his chronicle of African Americans in New York: "It strikes the uninformed observer as a phenomenon, a miracle straight out of the skies" (34). The common phrasing suggests the extent to which, for Johnson, "the Negro author"the highest agent of a racial and national "culture"owed his or her recognition to the existence of a densely populated, racially homogenous, yet cosmopolitan cultural center contiguous with, and in this case literally inside, a larger, racially heterogenous, cosmopolitan cultural center.
