Its members included Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Paul Robeson, and W.E.B. Du Bois. Johnson was considered to be the most famous woman poet of the movement. She lived in this house for over 50 years and hosted Saturday night open houses for members of the Harlem Renaissance to meet and socialize. Johnson passed away in 1966.
