Today In History James Weldon Johnson, co-composer of the “Black National Anthem” and the first Black person admitted to the Florida Bar, was born in Jacksonville, FL, on this date June 17, 1871. A key figure of the Harlem Renaissance, James Weldon Johnson was a man of many talents. He was a distinguished lawyer and diplomat who served as executive secretary at NAACP, where he helped open new branches and expand membership. He also campaigned for a federal anti-lynching bill and spoke at the 1919 National Conference on Lynching. Johnson used every bit of his position to fight against segregation and voter disenfranchisement in South.
