F. Grant Gilmore was a playwright, author, and producer in the United States.
He corresponded with Crisis magazine in 1929 about publishing one of his stories.[1] W. E. B. Du Bois wrote back that the publication could not "handle" the story.[2] He worked at the Rochester Sentinel, was a barber, and was involved in an African American social club in Rochester, New York.[3] He and his work are discussed in Jennifer James' 2007 study of African American war literature A Freedom Bought with Blood.[4]
The Library of Congress has images from his novel The Problem about an African American Sergeant serving in the Spanish–American War including a photo of Gilmore in the book.[5]
