Question #N918

The American poet Langston Hughes was a central figure in the Harlem Renaissance. His work often explored the experiences of African Americans living in the United States, particularly in Harlem, a neighborhood in New York City that was a focal point of Black culture in the 1920s and 1930s. Hughes's poems often celebrated Black culture and heritage, but they also addressed the challenges and injustices faced by African Americans.
