OriginalRobert Earl Jones in Langston Hughes' Don't You Want to be Free? (23 June 1938)
Reason
A fine image of an important early role in the theatre of the Harlem Renaissance. Father of James Earl Jones. The first nomination got four and a half supports during a slump period, with the only complaint being about Van Vechten's composition - something that we cannot do anything about three quarters of a century later.
