i PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
ENDORSES NEGRO BOOK
James Weldon Johnson, secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People and
editor of the recently published vol
, ume, “The Book of American Negro
Spirituals”, received recently a letter
from President Coolidge which read:
“It seems to me you have performed a
real service in putting these melodies
in permanent form, and I am very
glad to have the book for my library.”
Other famous men have written to
I the publishers, the Viking Tress, or
to the editor. Mr. Johnson. Sinclair
Lewis and Heywood Broun claim that
the Negro Spiritual is America's
greatest contribution to art. Mr. Lewis
goes on to say that “the publication
of the book is a musical event of the
first importance.”
The publication of the book has
brought well to the fore the signific
ance of these songs in the folklore of
our country. Jane Addams found that
Mr. Johnson’s introduction was ex
actly what she had been awaiting for
a better interpretation and under
standing of the songs. Clement Wood,
poet, author and life student of the
spirituals, wrote: “This is a magnif
icent compilation of the finest volume
of folk music that any race has yet
given the world. There are merits In
Russian. Spanish, French, English,
some other groups of such folk songs;
but for beauty, variety and innate in
ventiveness the Negro leads. The in
troduction is admirable and the ar
rangements as notable as any ever
made, and more comprehensive than
any.”
Grace Sinclair Lewis, the wife of
Sinclair Lewis, wrote Mr. Johnson
that the first time she ever heard a
spiritual was when Carl Sandburg
hummed “Deep River" to her in a
taxicab. Carl Sandburg, himself, who
for many years has studied spirituals
claims that this is the book on the
subject.
Carl Van Doren, Walter Damrosch
Franklin P. Adams, Sherwood Ander
son, Carl Van Vechten, John Haynes
Holmes are among the others who
have recognized the importance of the
Negro Spiritual to American art and
the significance of the book in pre
1 serving and presenting the best of
the songs.
In an editorial, The World says:
“At last there appears a satisfactory
edition of Negro Spirituals. It is
called ‘The Book of American Negro
Spirituals’, and it has been edited by
James Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People. Only
one who had waded through many
botched editions can appreciate the in
telligence with which this book is put
together. Mr. Johnson has selected
his songs with discrimination and had
them decently printed. With the aid
of Messrs. J. Rosamond Johnson and
Lawrence Brown he has recaptured
authentic harmonies as much a part
of the complete effect as the melodies.
And he offers in a brief introduction
^ more plausible explanation of the
origin of this music than all the
learned commentators since the Civil
War.
But what elemental poetry, what
gorgeous music! Reading these songs
over, one is transported back to half
remembered things; a countryside at
twilight, a little Negro church back in
the pines, and floating over the still
ness, a haunting chant which goes on
unceasingly until far in the night and
which has in it something that we
who listen never attain to. Poetry
like this, with the music that goes
with it, touches the stars. Let us
doff our hats to the race that brought
it into being.
