A self-educated man, Rogers authored numerous books and articles on race subjects. Among his non-fiction works are <span class=\"title\">World's Greatest Men and Women of African Descent</span> (1935), <span class=\"title\">100 Amazing Facts about the Negro</span> (1934), <span class=\"title\">The Real Facts about Ethiopia</span> (1936), and <span class=\"title\">World's Great Men of Color</span> (1947).
