Francis Hall Johnson, known professionally as Hall Johnson (March 12, 1888 – April 30, 1970), was one of a number of American composers and arrangers - including Harry T. Burleigh, R. Nathaniel Dett, and Eva Jessye — who elevated the African-American spiritual to an art form, comparable in its musical sophistication to the compositions of European Classical composers.
Biography
Francis Hall Johnson was born in Athens, Georgia. Johnson received an extensive education which included a time at the Juilliard School. As a boy, he taught himself to play the violin after hearing a violin recital given by Joseph Henry Douglass, grandson of Frederick Douglass. He went on to play the violin and viola professionally, including in the orchestra for the 1921 musical, Shuffle Along.
In time, however, he became more interested in choral music, forming the Hall Johnson Negro Choir, the first of many choral ensembles, in 1925. Hall Johnson and his choir became renowned through their participation in the 1930 Broadway production of Marc Connelly's The Green Pastures as well as in national and international tours of the play, radio versions, the 1936 film adaptation, and Hallmark Hall of Fame television broadcasts.

Despite the threat of looming mass protests in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has insisted that the city is ready for the convention and any demonstrations that try to interfere with it.
Anti-Israel protesters are expected to demonstrate in Chicago throughout the week, as Vice President Kamala Harris accepts the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination at the convention hall. When pressed if there would be chaos in Chicago on ABC News’s This Week on Sunday, Johnson cited the history the city has in hosting major party conventions.
