THE LIFE & LEGACY OF JOEL AUGUSTUS ROGERS:

CHRONICLER OF A GLORIOUS AFRICAN PAST

By RUNOKO RASHIDI

'Joel Augustus Rogers (1883-1966) was a world traveler, a prolific writer, an accomplished lecturer, and the first Black war correspondent. Rogers became an anthropologist, historian, journalist and publisher. He was a scholar unparalleled in assembling information about African people, and probably did more to popularize African history than any single writer of the twentieth century.'
