James Weldon Johnson and Grace NailJohnson papers circa 1850-2005 1900-1976

The James Weldon Johnson and GraceNail Johnson Papers provide evidence of the personal and professional lives ofJames Weldon Johnson, Grace Nail Johnson, and to a lesser degree, the Johnsonand Nail families, spanning the years 1850 to 2005, with the bulk of materialdating between 1900 and 1976. The papers chronicle Johnson’s writing career andinvolvement in education, politics, and cultural affairs and consist of avariety of documents, including correspondence, writings, personal papers,scrapbooks, photographs, artwork, objects, and audiovisual materials. Johnsonwas involved in a number of significant movements and organizations during hislifetime, and, as a result, the Papers also provide insight into broader topicsin American and African-American history during the twentieth century.
