A man of enormous talent and versatility, for fourteen years the secretary of the NAACP, Johnson was a distinguished poet, novelist, essayist, lecturer, song writer, lawyer, diplomat, editor, teacher, and education administrator. He was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, educated at Atlanta University and Columbia University, taught and was a school principal in Florida, a U.S. consul in Venezuela and Nicaragua, and towards the end of his life filled a professorship at Fisk University.
