 Weldon and Rosamond Johnson, born in Jacksonville, Florida, in the 1870s, we two of the most important Black composers of the 20th century. Principally known today for their composition "Lift Every Voice and Sing" (also known as the Black National Anthem), however, it is but a small piece of lives of two of the most amazing American stories that you never heard of: Broadway composers and performers, founded the first Black High School in Florida, foreign diplomat for TR and William Taft; co-founders of ASCAP; first Black president of the NAACP; first Black conductor of an all white orchestra with an all white cast on Broadway, arranger for Roy Rogers ... and much more. These guys were the real thing, not just a media personality.
