These writers used the social, political, and religious aspects of the African American experience as stepping stones for poetic expression. Widely divergent styles and subject matters existed within the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance. The jazz and blues clubs in Harlem provided a forum for the emerging Black entertainers and writers who wrote and performed to raise the consciousness of the Negro people and instill pride in their African heritage.

Langston Hughes (1902-1967) Contributing Editor: Charles H. Nichols Classroom Issues and Strategies The primary problems encountered in teaching Langston Hughes grow out of his air of improvisation and familiarity. Vital to an understanding of Hughes's poetry and prose is the idiom, the quality of black colloquial speech and the rhythms of jazz and the blues The best strategies for teaching the writer involve the reading aloud of the poetry and prose, the use of recordings and films, the use of the history of the "New Negro" and the Harlem Renaissance. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues The major themes in Langston Hughes's work grow out of his personal life, his travels, his involvement in radical and protest movements, his interest in Africa and South America as well as the Caribbean. Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions In regard to questions of form, style, or artistic convention, the following considerations are relevant to Langston Hughes: 1. His debt to Walt Whitman , Carl Sandburg, and Paul Laurence Dunbar 2. His enthusiasm for the language and songs of the rural folk and lower-class urban, "street" Negro. As

Famous today for his poetry, Hughes also wrote protest columns. Jesse B. Semple, Hughes's quintessential Harlem resident, first appeared in the Chicago Defender newspaper. Semple's character became popular nationwide and over his lifetime Hughes produced five books and a Broadway play based on the "Simple Stories." Often set as dialogues, the humorous stories feature an overly reasonable, conciliatory narrator who comes into conflict with the outspoken and intransigent Jesse B.

"Salvation" By Langston Huges I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved. It happened like this. There was a big revival at my Auntie Reed's church. Every night for weeks there had been much preaching, singing, praying, and shouting, and some very hardened sinners had been brought to Christ, and the membership of the church had grown by leaps and bounds. Then just before the revival ended, they held a special meeting for children, "to bring the young lambs to the fold." My aunt spoke of it for days ahead. That night I was escorted to the front row and placed on the mourners' bench with all the other young sinners, who had not yet been brought to Jesus. My aunt told me that when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! She said you could see and hear and feel Jesus in your soul. I believed her. I had heard a great many old people say the same thing and it seemed to me they ought to know. So I sat there calmly in the hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to me. The preacher preached a wonderful rhythmical sermon, all moans and shouts and lonely cries and dire pictures of hell, and then he sang a song about the ninety and nine safe in the fold, but one little lamb was left out in the cold. Then he said: "Won't you come? Won't you come to Jesus? Young lambs, won't you come?" And he held out his arms to all us young sinners there on the mourners' bench. And the little girls cried. And some of them jumped up and went to Jesus right away. But most of us just sat there.

The announcement won't directly affect the fate of Jacqueline Moscou, the center's artistic director who was placed on administrative leave in October, but Phillips' charge will be to sort out "disagreements over the running of the facility" and have "staff work more smoothly," park spokeswoman Dewey Potter said. Phillips is no stranger to controversy, having served as former Mayor Paul Schell's press secretary. She since has been a public relations consultant, and is managing director of the Hansberry Project, a professional black theatre company, at A Contemporary Theatre. The department has not said why Moscou was placed on leave, but her attorneys say she was accused of emphasizing too strongly African-American culture in the center. Phillips on Monday afternoon said she hasn't had a chance to learn the root of tensions at the center. "That level of assessment is my primary task to figure out what's actually going on. I'm going to take the initial period and really just listen from people both on the inside and the outside."

Home Timeline Exhibition For Teachers Resources Harlem Writers and Intellectuals Courtesy of Regina Andrews Regina M. Andrews, born in Chicago, came to New York and became assistant to Ernestine Rose at the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library. She organized the Negro Experimental Theatre with Gwendolyn Bennett and was responsible for encouraging Charles S. Johnson to give the Civic Club dinner for young African-American writers in 1924. This dinner was the forerunner to the Harlem Renaissance because it brought together the young and elder African-American writers with a number of white editors and publishers. Paul Kellog of Survey Graphic , in fact, was sufficiently impressed and devoted an entire issue to the "New Negro." Ms. Andrews shared an apartment in Harlem's Sugar Hill district with Louella Tucker and Ethel Nance, secretary to Charles S. Johnson and volunteer at the library. Their apartment was a gathering place for young artists and writers. Ms. Andrews wrote a play under the pen name Ursala Tilling called Climbing Jacob's Ladder , and promoted many of the young writers of the day. She was active in the Urban League.

Hughes’ father and mother separated not long after his birth and his father, a successful businessman, emigrated to Mexico. Hughes was one of the first writers and artists drawn to Harlem in the 1920’s by the sudden growth of African American cultural activity there. He arrived in New York in September 1921, ostensibly to attend Colu mbia University, although he only lasted a year in school. In 1926 Hughes published The Weary Blues In 192 6 Hughes returned to school, this time to the historically black Lincoln Un iversity in Pennsylvania where he graduated in 1929. After graduation, Hughes became increasingly involved in the Communist party which lead to his being investigated by the Senate subcommittee chaired by Joseph McCarthy in 1953. In 1940 Hughes published his hugely influential autobiography, The Big Sea , which recounted many of his experiences in Harlem during the ‘20s.
