Langston Hughes was a smart black man. He was born in Winston-Salem North Carolina. That was also where he attended school, then onto Durham; then to Columbia University in uptown Manhattan. Where one of his instructors has given him an assignment; to “go home write a page, and let that page come out of him, and then it will be true”, that's exactly what he did.
