Book Synopsis African-American Life in Jacksonville by : Herman Mason
Book excerpt: African-American Life in Jacksonville is a work that will delight the lifelong resident and the first time visitor, the serious scholar and the casual observer. It is a lovingly composed look at a proud people and their heritage. Included are glimpses at such famous civic, social, and business figures as James Weldon Johnson, principal at Stanton Public School and composer of the great anthem Lift Evry Voice and Sing; James Charles Edd Craddock, owner of the palatial Two Spot nightclub; Eartha M. M. White, who operated the Clara White Mission; and Abraham L. Lewis, founder of Afro-American Life Insurance Company.
