Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James Weldon Johnson coined the term "Aframerican" in 1912, as a way to describe Black Americans as a distinct cultural group with a unique history and experience. He believed that this term could help to unite Black Americans and give them a sense of pride and dignity in their identity. However, the term did not catch on widely and was eventually replaced by other terms such as "African American."
