Happy birthday to Langston Hughes, who was born February 2, 1902.
New York Public Library posted a photo of Hughes (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.
The Schomburg Center has Hughes’ remains interned there as well as a Langston Hughes Collection.
