It includes interviews with folklorist Langston Collin Wilkins and Hughes scholar Sophie Abramowitz. Wilkins and Abramowitz show us how Langston Hughes’s folklore work was grounded in song collecting and vernacular expression, and committed to the visionary futurity of Black folkloric creativity. We also explore Hughes’s connections to the American Folklife Center archive, especially correspondence between Hughes and Alan Lomax that preserves perhaps the only known copies of some of Hughes’s collected songs, right here in the Library of Congress.For full a...

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Jon and Melissa try to express what makes Hughes poetry so accessible, despite it's contrast to today's turbulent racial politics. Is Langston's voice, established before the dominance of Civil Rights rhetoric, no longer relevant, or do his allusions to the Nile and the Civil War still ring true?

StoryWeb: Storytime for Grownups148: Langston Hughes: "Theme for English B"This week on StoryWeb: Langston Hughes's poem "Theme for English B." Oh, how I love this poem! It packs so much into a short space. Published on its own in 1949, it was included in Langston Hughes's 1951 collection, Montage of a Dream Deferred. Though it gains more resonance when taken with the entire collection of Hughes's bebop poetry, it also stands successfully on its own. In "Theme for English B," Hughes imagines a 22-year-old black student—a transplant from North Carolina – living at the Harlem Y and going to college. He is the only "colored" student in h...
