Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance

"When Susanna Jones wears red/ A queen from some time dead Egyptian night/ walks once again..."

That one always touched me, and he wrote it in his teens, if I remember correctly.

I'll have to double check on the 90% statistic, but I absolutely agree that Caribbean-Americans have been overlooked throughout American history!

In information is completely on true with your claim that the Harlem Renaissance was an African-American cultural movement! Over 90% of the writers were Caribbeans, born and breed! There seem to be an ignorance in calling these Caribbeans African American.

Would a white 17 year old Michigander get in trouble, if he made a soft/pop rock/R&B song out of an obscure Langston Hughes poem?
