    About Who Was Langston Hughes?

    A teenager who wrote for his high school newspaper and edited the yearbook
    A talented writer who published poems, novels, plays, and more 
    A legendary American who was one of the leaders of the Harlem Renaissance

    Find out how a young boy from the Midwest became one of the most important writers and activists of the Harlem Renaissance in this addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling series!

    Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, and was raised by his grandmother, who told him many stories of the Black American experience and taught him to be proud of his race from a young age. With her guidance, Langston went on to become a talented writer in high school, creating dramatic plays, poetry, and articles for the school paper. His career as a writer would continue to blossom. Langston pioneered Jazz Poetry and published nearly twenty poetry books during his lifetime as well as novels, books for children, nonfiction books, and plays. He was an activist and a major figure of the Harlem Renaissance period, alongside Zora Neale Hurston and Countee Cullen. Young readers can learn about Langston’s beloved writing, including some of his most famous poems “Dreams” and “The Weary Blues,” and his long-lasting legacy in this middle-grade biography.
