Langston Hughes (1902 – 1967) was an American writer of poetry, fiction, plays, children’s literature and non-fiction works. He was one of the central figures in the literary movement known as the Harlem Renaissance.
Born in Joplin, Missouri, he spent a year at Columbia University and worked at several odd jobs before his first book of poems, The Weary Blues, was published by Knopf in 1926.[1]
