Blue-Eyed Black Boy is a 1930 one-act play by Georgia Douglas Johnson, one of the earliest African-American playwrights and an American poet that was a member of the Harlem Renaissance.
They make fun of how dedicated and hard working Jack is, saying instead of chasing girls he is more interested in his books.
She tells him to jump on his horse and buggy and get over to Governor Tinkham's house, give him the ring, and say exactly that it is sent from Pauline, and that they are about to lynch her son born 21 years ago.
[3] Johnson's mother was Laura Jackson, a woman with Black and Indian ancestry, and her father was George Camp, a wealthy Englishman.
He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1925 leaving Georgia with two teenage sons, Henry Lincoln, Jr. and Peter Douglas.
[6] Most known for her poetry and Drama, Johnson also happened to be a journalist who contributed to 32 newspapers, publishing weekly editorials.
[7] She published four books of poetry: The Heart of a Woman (1918), Bronze (1922), An Autumn Love Cycle (1928), Share My World (1962).
She published several one act plays, including A Summer Morning in the South, (1924) Plumes, (1927) Frederick Douglass, (1935) William and Ellen Craft, (1935) Blue Blood, (1926) and Blue-Eyed Black Boy, (1935).
Being particularly difficult to be heard as a Black female writer, Johnson has written at least two short stories under the pseudonym, Paul Tremaine.
It could be due to the absence of her work in literary anthologies and inaccessibility of her books which were out of print until 1971 when they were added to The Black Heritage Library Collection.
