| Grace Nail Johnson (Mrs. James Weldon Johnson), bridal photo in Panama 1910. The wife of poet and civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson, Grace Nail Johnson, know as the "Grand Dame of Harlem," was a popular hostess who brought together Harlem’s artistic and political elite. A steadfast supporter of the battle to increase civil liberties, Mrs. Johnson lent her famous name to organizations campaigning for fair wages and increased job opportunities for African Americans. |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!
