About the event
Before there was a movement, there was a voice.
Langston Hughes wrote the rhythm of everyday Black life into history by capturing joy, struggle, music, and dreams in a way that still resonates today.
On Friday, March 6th, we invite you to step into that world.
Join us for a special lecture led by Hiram Charles Sims, exploring Hughes’ life, his groundbreaking work, and the cultural legacy he helped shape. From The Weary Blues to his lasting influence on generations of writers, this is an evening designed to deepen understanding and spark connection.
Whether you're encountering Hughes for the first time or returning to his words, you’ll leave with a richer sense of why his voice still matters.
