This National Poetry Month celebration will explore the contributions of W.E.B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, and Langston Hughes in shaping Black American culture and arts. Du Bois & Johnson argued that African American artistic traditions were uniquely American, while Hughes captured the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance in his poetry. The evening will begin with poetry readings by local poets.
Moderated by Dr. Ali-Coleman, the discussion will highlight their lasting impact on contemporary culture.
