Biographical History

J. A. Rogers, born Joel Augustus Rogers in Jamaica, was a journalist and author of fiction and non-fiction works. He immigrated to the United States in 1906. A self-educated man, Rogers authored numerous books and articles on race subjects. Among his non-fiction works are "World's Greatest Men and Women of African Descent" (1935), "100 Amazing Facts about the Negro" (1934), "The Real Facts about Ethiopia" (1936), and "World's Great Men of Color" (1947). He is probably best known for "Sex and Race" (1941) and "The Five Negro Presidents" (1965). In addition he wrote columns for several black newspapers including "Impressions of Europe" and "Jazz at Home," and for the Pittsburgh Courier, an illustrated feature entitled "Your History." He also wrote two novels "From "Superman" to Man" and "She Walks in Beauty."
