What happens to a dream deferred?

nypl:

Happy birthday to Langston Hughes, who was born today in 1902. 

Here he is (far left) with Charles S. Johnson, E. Franklin Frazier, Rudolph Fisher and Hubert T. Delaney, on the roof of 580 St. Nicholas Avenue, Harlem, on the occasion of a party in Hughes’ honor, 1924.

Head over to the Library for the Performing Arts to listen to recordings of Langston Hughes reading his poetry or head to the Schomburg Center to explore the Langston Hughes Collection.
