About
Langston Hughes's poems, dating from the Harlem Renaissance through the 1960's, continue to resonate today. As we commemorate 50 years since Hughes's passing, members of the community will read these powerful, poignant, and sometimes amusing works aloud, accompanied by the Daniel Ian Smith jazz trio. The reading is coordinated by Anne Edmonds Clanton.
Free and open to the public. Refreshments follow the reading.
Join us early at 12:15 pm for a short gallery talk on related works of art by the Museum's Spalter Fellows.
