Langston Hughes
Langston Hughes was one of the first black men to express the spirit of blues and jazz into
words. An African American Hughes became a well known poet, novelist, journalist, and
playwright.
Because his father emigrated to Mexico and his mother was often away, Hughes was
brought up in Lawrence, Kansas, by his grandmother Mary Langston. Her second husband
(Hughes's grandfather) was a fierce abolitionist. She helped Hughes to see the cause of social
justice.
