Скачать или смотреть BOSS Black History: James Weldon Johnson

As a leader of the Harlem Renaissance, he was a Renaissance man himself. On top of everything in the video, I forgot to mention that he was also a diplomat under President Theodore Roosevelt, the principal and educator at the segregated elementary school he once learned at, the first Black faculty member at NYU, he and his brother wrote over 200 Broadway and Vaudeville tunes, he authored several books and worked with W.E.B Du Bois to advance racial equity. If you wonder why he created the Black National Anthem, look up the third verse of the Star Spangled Banner. Truly an inspiration who created change in every space he entered. #superbowl #ledisi #lifteveryvoiceandsing #blackhistorymonth #harlemrenaissance #naacp #poetry
