“Langston Hughes was born on February 1, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri. He said he wrote most of his poetry when he was sad and, judging by all the poems he wrote, he must have been sad a lot of the time. I think what made him sad was how people, especially people of color, were treated.”
― Willie Perdomo, Visiting Langston
