Georgia Blanche Douglas Camp Johnson better known as Georgia Douglas Johnson (September 10, 1877 - 1966) was an American poet.
She was born in Atlanta to Laura Jackson and Douglas Camp. Her father's father was a British citizen who immigrated to Marietta as a child with his wealthy parents. He died in his 30s, while enjoying a successful career as a musician. Johnson's mother was born in Marietta also. Her mother was a Native American who married an African-American bridge builder. Both died early and left Johnson's fourteen-year-old sister to raise her siblings. To support them, Johnson's mother worked as a maid. She married three times in all and gave Johnson two half brothers and a half sister.
Much of Johnson's childhood was spent in Rome, Georgia. She received her education in both Rome and Atlanta, where she excelled in reading, recitations and physical education. She also taught herself to play the violin, which developed into a lifelong love of music.
Johnson graduated from Atlanta University's Normal School in 1893. She taught school in Marietta for a time, then returned to Atlanta to work as an assistant principal. Johnson then traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, to study piano, harmony, and voice. From 1902 to 1903, she attended the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
On September 28, 1903, Johnson married Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta lawyer and prominent Republican party member. They had two sons, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr. and Peter Douglas Johnson (d. 1957).
It was during this period that Johnson began to write poems and stories. Johnson credits a poem written by William Stanley Braithwaite about a rose tended by a child in Brooklyn, New York, as her inspiration for her poetic output. She began to submit her poems to newspapers and small magazines. She published her first poem in 1916, when she was thirty-six. She published four volumes of poetry, beginning in 1918 with The Heart of a Woman. Johnson also wrote songs, taught music, and performed as an organist at her Congregational church during this period.
Upon accepting an appointment as the Recorder of Deeds from United States President William Howard Taft, Johnson's husband moved their family to Washington, D.C., where she would reside the last fifty years of her life. Johnson's husband died in 1925, and, as a gesture of appreciation for her husband's loyalty and service to the Republican party, President Calvin Coolidge appointed Johnson as the Commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor.
Soon after her husband's death, Johnson hosted weekly Saturday-night open houses for other authors, including Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, Anne Spencer, Richard Bruce Nugent, Alain Locke, and Jessie Redmon Fauset—all major contributors to the New Negro Movement, which is better known today as the Harlem Renaissance.
She was a close friend of the writer Angelina Weld Grimke.

A nearside view of the London Bus Museum's preserved Routemaster coach RMC 1461 with this vehicle being one of the batch of 68 RMCs delivered new to LT's Green Line operations in 1962. In its later years in service in London RMC 1461 operated with Stagecoach London out of the former Upton Park (U) bus garage on route 15 with the vehicle being repainted back into its original 1962 Green Line livery in 1996, with RMC 1461 (along with fellow London Bus Museum resident RML 2760) being a regular fixture on route 15 up until the OPO conversion of the route at the end of August 2003. The odd-sounding destination of Brazen Bottom printed on RMC 1461's front blind is the name of a village in Wiltshire located close to the Army-reclaimed village of Imber.

An unusual visitor to Holborn in July 2004 was the Cobham Bus Museum's former Green Line Routemaster coach RMC 1461, which along with Cobham's preserved AEC Reliance single-deck coach RP 90 and Metroline's open-top RM 644 were operating on the London Omnibus Traction Society's (LOTS) annual summer evening tour around various parts of London. On this 40th anniversary of LOTS the tour visited the scenic delights of Tulse Hill and West Norwood rather than Windsor as displayed on RMC 1461's front destination blind!

The Strivers' Section is a historic neighborhood in the Dupont Circle area of Northwest Washington, D.C.
Strivers' Section was historically an enclave of upper-middle-class African Americans, often community leaders, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It takes its name from a turn-of-the-century writer who described the district as "the Striver's section, a community of Negro aristocracy." The name echoes that of a New York City historic neighborhood of black professionals: Strivers' Row in Harlem.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Striver's Section Historic District is roughly bounded by Swann Street NW on the south, Florida Avenue NW on the north and west, the 16th Street Historic District on the east, and 19th Street on the west.
The area was envisioned as part of the capital city by Pierre L'Enfant's 1791 plan; by 1852, plats were drawn up for 11 squares subdivided by streets. But the rural landscape remained largely uninhabited until the latter half of the century. Development began in the 1870s, encouraged by a north-south streetcar line along nearby 14th Street, and accelerated from about 1890 to 1910. Early residents including working-class people and professionals, African-Americans and whites. But the area became most strongly identified with the African-American elites who were attracted by public transit and the nearby Howard University.
Among its most notable residents was Frederick Douglass, runaway slave, abolitionist, orator, writer and civil servant. Douglass built the southern three buildings of a five-house, Second Empire-style row at 2000-2008 17th Street in 1875-76. Douglass' son inherited the houses and lived at 2002 from 1877 until his death in 1908.
Other notable residents have included:
Calvin Brent, the late-19th-century architect lived on V Street.
James C. Dacy, editor, realtor and D.C. Recorder of Deeds in 1904-10, also lived in the area.
James E. Storum, the educator and entrepreneur who founded the Capital Savings Bank, the first African-American-owned banking institution in the nation's capital, lived at 2004 17th Street.
Prominent figures who lived within a few blocks of the Historic District boundaries include:
Langston Hughes (1902-1967), Harlem Renaissance poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright, lived at 1749 S Street, NW.
Charles Hamilton Houston (1895-1950), dean of Howard University's law school, lived at 1744 S Street, NW.
Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966), author and poet of the Harlem Renaissance, lived at 1461 S Street, NW.
Today, the Strivers' Section is still largely occupied by the Edwardian residences that have populated the area since its initial development, along with some apartment and condominium buildings and a few small businesses. The area includes some 430 buildings constructed between 1875 and 1946. It is the home of the national headquarters (1930 17th Street, NW) of Jack and Jill of America, which seeks to help children, especially African-American children, obtain cultural opportunities, develop leadership skills, and form social networks.
