Langston Hughes, Teenaged Poet
Did you know Langston Hughes first appeared in The Brownies' Book in 1920, with poems, a Toluca travel piece and a graduation photo? For Black History Month I dig into his early writings in the magazine, from "The Fairies" and "Winter Sweetness" to Mexican games like Lady White and a Xinantecatl hike.
