About the book

This work collects all of Johnson's poems, including the famous "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which, written in 1900 to honor Lincoln's birthday, became known as the "Negro National Anthem" during the Harlem Renaissance. The leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Johnson in his poetry reflects the experience of African-Americans in the early 20th century.
