Description: Along This Way : The Autobiography of James Weldon Johnson, Paperback by Johnson, James Weldon; Wilson, Sondra Kathryn (INT), ISBN 030680929X, ISBN-13 9780306809293, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Here is, to quote the eminent historian Nathan Irvin Huggins, “one of the finest American autobiographies written in this century.&; Born in 1871 in Jacksonville, Florida, James Weldon Johnson began his career as a high-school principal. He went on to attain success as a songwriter on Broadway and as the compiler of the definitive Book of American Negro Spirituals. But he achieved one of his greatest triumphs in 1912, when, under a pseudonym, he published The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man—a classic novel about a musician who rejects his black roots, a novel that is still in print today in multiple paperback editions. Johnson went on to be, from 1920 to 1930, the first African-American head of the NAACP, fighting tirelessly for the passage of a federal anti-lynching law. His life story is that of a truly remarkable man who triumphed over a system of institutionalized racism to become one of black America's leading educators, men of letters, and reformers.
