Women's History Month Langston Hughes Writer, editor, lecturer Langston Hughes achieved fame as a poet during the burgeoning of the arts known as the Harlem Renaissance, but those who label him "a Harlem Renaissance poet" have restricted his fame to only one genre and decade. In addition to his work as a poet, Hughes was a novelist, columnist, playwright, and essayist, and though he is most closely associated with Harlem, his world travels influenced his writing in a profound way. Langston Hughes followed the example of Paul Laurence Dunbar, one of his early poetic influences, to become the second African American to earn a living as a writer. His long and distinguished career produced volumes of diverse genres and inspired the work of countless other African American writers. Although his youth was marked with transition, Hughes extracted meaning from the places and people whence he came. The search for employment led his mother and step-father, Homer Clark, to move several times. Hughes moved often between the households of his grandmother, his mother, and other surrogate parents. One of his essays claims that he has slept in "Ten Thousand Beds." Growing up in the Midwest (Lawrence, Kansas; Topeka, Kansas; Lincoln, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio), young Hughes learned the blues and spirituals. He would subsequently weave these musical elements into his own poetry and fiction.

Introduction This supplemental CyberGuide on the poetry of Langston Hughes was developed by teachers in the Schools of California Online Resources for Educators (SCORE) Project, funded by the California Technology Assistance Program (CTAP) and the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) Langston Hughes, a primary voice of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920's, was known as "The Poet Laureate of Harlem" in the period of such writers as Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen, and Claude McKay. These writers used the social, political, and religious aspects of the African American experience as stepping stones for poetic expression. Widely divergent styles and subject matters existed within the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance. The jazz and blues clubs in Harlem provided a forum for the emerging Black entertainers and writers who wrote and performed to raise the consciousness of the Negro people and instill pride in their African heritage. As the students do these activities, they will consider the following questions:

[an error occurred while processing this directive] (JAMES) LANGSTON HUGHES A central figure of the Harlem Renaissance , the flowering of African-American culture in 1920's and 30's, Missouri-born Langston Hughes used his poetry, novels, plays, and essays to champion his people and voice his concerns about race and social justice. His youth was marked by poverty, the separation of his parentshis father emigrated to Mexico where Hughes would later visita matriarchal, church-going education, and a nomadic series of moves that would eventually bring him to New York City in 1921. There, with some money sent by his father, he enrolled in Columbia University, wrote his first verse, and began to publish in THE CRISIS, the historic magazine of the N.A.A.C.P., founded by W.E.B. DuBois When funds for continuing college dried up, Hughes moved to Harlem at the height of its golden era. For the remainder of the decade he would associate with all her prominent figures DuBois, Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, Alain Locke, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Jean Toomer, Arna Bontemps, and Carl Van Vechten; receive patronage from the formidable but controlling Charlotte Mason; make voyages of self-discovery to Africa and Europe, and return to the States with a freer, more confident vision of his own identity as an African-American, an artist, a leftist(he would later spend some time in Russia and answer for it in the McCarthy Hearings), and a homosexual.

Langston Hughes "Simple on Indian Blood" Actor Ossie Davis reads "Simple on Indian Blood," one of the "Simple" stories of Langston Hughes. Famous today for his poetry, Hughes also wrote protest columns. Jesse B. Semple, Hughes's quintessential Harlem resident, first appeared in the Chicago Defender newspaper. Semple's character became popular nationwide and over his lifetime Hughes produced five books and a Broadway play based on the "Simple Stories." Often set as dialogues, the humorous stories feature an overly reasonable, conciliatory narrator who comes into conflict with the outspoken and intransigent Jesse B. Semple. .au format (3.5 Mb), .gsm format (0.7 Mb), .ra format (0.4 Mb). "A Toast to Harlem" "A Toast to Harlem," one of the "Simple" stories by Langston Hughes, read by actor Ossie Davis. Originally written as a newspaper column, this story revels in the Harlem of the 1940s, describing the neighborhood's joys and frustrations. Like the other "Simple Stories," this tale stars "Jesse B. Semple," a homespun philosopher, who engages in a dialogue with a mild- mannered narrator. Hughes himself was an influential figure in the Harlem Renaissance, a literary and artistic movement that also produced Countee Cullen, Richard Wright, and Zora Neale Hurston. .au format (3.4 Mb)
