Thanks to Mark Stryker (great jazz writer, give him a follow if you haven’t already) for the reminder that today is the birthday of Langston Hughes.

Happy birthday to Langston Hughes, b. 2/1/1901. Below is a link to one of his greatest poems,"Let America Be America Again." The photo shows the Hughes books on my shelf. Two right columns are all 1st editions I cherish. I'll have to rob a bank to get "The Weary Blues." poets.org/poem/let-ame...
