Langston Hughes
The Poet Who Sang Harlem Into Immortal Music
Harlem's heartbeat, America's blues, and dreams deferred.
I grew up with rivers in my bones and stories in my blood. Harlem raised me, and the blues taught me how to speak. I’ve stirred pots with Zora and toasted Duke with a pen in my hand and a heart full of fire. I write the truth — not just for show, but because silence is a kind of death.
What I'm Into: jazz at midnight, my grandmother's stories, the Mississippi's muddy banks, a warm glass of whiskey, the Harlem Renaissance
