Welcome to our Literature class,
today we will focus on Langston Hughes and his writing styles.
The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s gave birth to many powerful African-American literary works.
Langston Hughes was one of them, who created many potent pieces of poetry.
Hughes' writing style could be seen as a stray from the norm as it does not fit the mold of what was previously considered fine poetical work.
In many ways, the uniqueness of Hughes's writing style made his compositions not only effective as poetry themselves,
but also as a powerful ally in the struggle for African-American social equality.
