James Mercer Langston Hughes ( February 1, 1901 — May 22, 1967) was a famous American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright and columnist from Joplin, Missouri. One of the earliest innovators of the literary art form called jazz poetry, Hughes is best known as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance. He famously wrote about the period that “the Negro was in vogue”, which was later paraphrased as “when Harlem was in vogue.” Rest in Langston. A very talented man.?????
