Let America Be America Again: Conversations with Langston Hughes
A Journey into Dawn
Langston Hughes: When Language Turns History
In Hughes's literary world, history is not a forward line into a utopian future. Neither is it a perfect circle, turning precisely back upon the exact same point in space and time where it has already been. Rather, it is a spiral at once backward and forward, open to new guidance. Despite the past's often being torturous (twisted horribly), it can certainly be channeled well. Hence, to Langston Hughes, black writers facilitate an advance into fut…

The Political Plays of Langston Hughes
Among the most influential poets of the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes is perhaps best remembered for the innovative use of jazz rhythms in his writing. While his poetry and essays received much public acclaim and scholarly attention, Hughes dramas are relatively unknown.

To a Place Blessed: For Margaret Walker
On November 30, 1998, Margaret Walker Alexander, at the age of 83, died in Chicago. Though the cause of her death was uncertain, she had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and had become so feeble as to require a constant companion.

Eight to ten miles from Chapel Hill, the famed players of Shaw University had just finished, for so many undergraduates at North Carolina Central Unive…
