Langston Hughes has been called the poet laureate of the African-American experience — a visionary writer of the Harlem Renaissance who gave hopeful expression to the aspirations of the oppressed, even as he decried racism and injustice. His powerful poetry and prose continues to speak to the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Black Lives Matter movement, and, of course, his own dreams captured in such powerful poems as “I Dream a World” which our choir will sing with music set by André J. Thomas. Come and learn about the life and work of Langston Hughes and how what he imagined remains relevant for us today.
