✦ Thought for the Day
“I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.”
- Langston Hughes, the great American author and poet, considered a, if not *the*, leader of "the Harlem Renaissance" in the early half of the 20th Century. Born in Joplin, MO (1901 or 2, sources vary), family events led to him being raised for much of his early childhood by his maternal grandmother Mary Patterson Langston in heavily segregated Lawrence, KS until her death in 1915. She remained a prime inspiration for him throughout his life. Lawrence and the University of Kansas remember Hughes in various ways, two examples being Langston Hughes Elementary School and the annual Langston Hughes Creative Writing Awards for local area authors and poets. For more on his time in Lawrence, see Langston Hughes in Lawrence: Photographs and Biographical Resources, December 10, 2004 by Denise Low and T F Pecore Weso
