Every Generation online - J A rogers: "J. A. Rogers is the most interesting and dynamic black historian and social commentator of modern times. He spent over fifty years writing, researching and publishing the contribution and inter-connection of black people to world history. Between the 1920s and the 1960s Rogers single-handedly, through his newspaper columns and publications, made black history a subject of popular interest in America for the first time.

He taught himself French, German, Spanish and Italian and travelled extensively around the world in search of facts, pictures and artefacts with no foundational support. A prodigious and meticulous detective, Rogers undertook massive, primary research into the global history of African people. However in America he was seen as a controversial figure by both black and white academics for his research on the delicate issue of race and sex. He sought to identify the historical intermixing of black and white people and to promote black identity through particular biographical achievements. "
