THE UNKNOWN, FANTASTIC LIVES OF THE JOHNSON WOMEN
The Unknown, Fantastic Lives of the Johnson Women
An online discussion with Paula Marie Seniors
Sunday, March 20, 2022
3:00pm
"J. Rosamond Johnson and his brother, James Weldon Johnson, are renowned for their most famous composition, “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing.” However, the adage, Behind every great man there is a great woman, applies to both men.
Their mother, Helen Louise Dillet, and the respective women that they married, Grace Nail and Nora E. Floyd, were highly accomplished themselves.
Paula Marie Seniors will offer an engaging discussion about these important figures whom history has relegated to the background.
The SIGNS OF THE TIMES | Harlem Heritage Markers Project will install twenty-five historic markers throughout Harlem, beginning in September 2022.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES honors individuals, organizations, and events that imbue Harlem with its unique character.
“The Unknown, Fantastic Lives of the Johnson Women” is a pre-marker-installation program that takes a deep dive into the wives of James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson, and the woman who birthed these two extraordinary men.
One of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES honors J. Rosamond Johnson, widely known for composing “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” the perfect complement to James Weldon’s poem.
The other marker honors Rosamond’s educator daughter, Mildred Johnson, who founded Harlem’s first Black independent school in 1934: The Modern School thrived for sixty years and educated hundreds of children, including two WWSH board members, Robin Verges, and Deidre B. Flowers, Ph.D.
