Summary | You are invited to a most marvelous party. For a most marvelous man. A man who turned the alphabet into thump a bump. Who turned words into jazz into rivers into bustin' a move. All of his word-children will be there, uh-huh. Because it's a party for Langston. Langston Hughes. King o' letters. Renaissance man. So don't be shy. Come on in. To the hoopla in Harlem. Everyone is welcome. A celebration of Langston Hughes and African American authors he inspired, told through the lens of the party held at the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in 1991. |
