Helen Louise Dillet Johnson was a musician and the first black female teacher in a Florida grammar school and at Edwin M. Stanton School.
Dillet was born in 1842 to Stephen Dillet, (French Haitian) and Mary Symonett. Johnson’s mother took her to New York to pursue a singing career. While in New York, she met James Johnson who fell in love with Helen Louise after hearing her sing.
During the unrest created by the Civil War, Johnson and her mother returned to Nassau. James Johnson soon followed and married Helen Louise. The couple later returned to the United States after the war and settled in Jacksonville, Florida. They had 3 children: James William (James Weldon) Johnson and 2 other children. Helen Louise Johnson died in 1917 in New York City.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming
having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not
very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks
I do not know whether it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your
website. It appears as though some of the written text on your posts are running off
the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this
is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my internet
browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Cheers

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let
me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something which not enough men and women are speaking
intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.
