He wrote the novel The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, published poetry collections including Fifty Years and Other Poems and God’s Trombones, and edited influential anthologies such as The Book of American Negro Poetry. He also co-wrote the lyrics to “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and documented African American cultural life through literary criticism, autobiography, and social history.
