Brown Bag Lecture: Langston Hughes - Jazz Poet, Social Activist

Langston Hughes was a poet who utilized the American language, music, slang and religious views to educate the world about African American lifestyles during the Harlem Renaissance. His criticisms focused on the divisions and prejudices, based on skin color within the black community. In this presentation, Ketih Henley's portrayal of Hughes deals with the issues of how to be oneself, and encourages all the joy in the knowledge that "I too have a song to sing" and to ask the question "why not me?"
