Action of the Day
Early in his career, Langston Hughes lived here in Washington, DC. Hoping to save enough money to attend Howard University, he held a variety of jobs and hung out along Seventh Street NW from 1924 to 1926. Join Kim Roberts for a slide show presentation on where Hughes lived, worked and played in DC, along with performances by Kwame Alexander, Naomi Ayala and Brian Gilmore, three acclaimed DC poets influenced by Hughes's considerable legacy. The poets will read works by Hughes as well as their own original poetry.
