by James Weldon Johnson
Dive into the provocative world of James Weldon Johnsons only novel, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.

Experience the eye-opening revelations of a young boy who grew up assuming he was white, only to have his perception of race and identity upended in an instant. Discover how this pivotal moment shaped his view of himself and his world through the lens of blackness. Despite initially flying under the radar, the novel gained recognition when Johnson courageously claimed authorship in 1927. - Summary by James K. White
