Who Was James Weldon Johnson?

Johnson wanted Black people to be treated fairly. He worked for a group that fought for this. The group is called the NAACP. He helped plan a silent march. Around 10,000 people walked down a street in New York. They did this because Black people were not being treated fairly.
