1. James Mercer Langston Hughes (1901-1967) was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright and columnist from Joplin, Missouri. He moved to New York City as a young man, where he made his career. One of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form called jazz poetry, Hughes is best known as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance in New York City. He famously wrote about the period that "the negro was in vogue", which was later paraphrased as "when Harlem was in vogue".
If Langston Hughes is alive today, he would definitely try his best to recite his poem "Let America Be America Again (LABAA)" with great feeling at all opposition reelection rallies.
LABAA can certainly hold its own against Trump's new KAG ("Keep America Great") or his old MAGA ("Make America Great Again").
P.S. In his photos, Langston Hughes did not look darker than any Latino or non-white politician. However, he preferred to be "the Negro bearing slavery's scars" instead of entering politics as an opportunist trying to be "whiter than white" and more supremacist than a white supremacist. In this regard, he earned the respect of many people by being true to his self and origin. His greatness could be compared to Moses who gave up a life of luxury as "the Prince of Egypt" in order to achieve freedom and equality for his people, the Jewish slaves.
