Jefferson Washington Freeman, often referred to simply as Jefferson, is a fictional character from the novel "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" written by James Weldon Johnson in 1912. The story follows his experiences as a biracial man navigating the complexities of race in America during the early 20th century. Freeman's character grapples with his identity and the societal expectations placed upon him, ultimately choosing to "pass" as white to escape racial discrimination. The novel highlights themes of identity, race, and the struggles of African Americans during that era.
