About this listen

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson is an emotionally gripping novel that is a landmark in black literary history and, more than 100 years after its original anonymous publication, a classic of American fiction.

In this novel, a young man of mixed ethnicity faces the heart-wrenching choice of embracing his Black heritage or passing for white in a racially divided America. Told in the form of a candid memoir, the narrator reflects on his journey through the complexities of identity, race, and the personal cost of societal expectations.
