I hurts my soul that this video has only 19k views but a Cardi B video gets 1 million in an hour. How far we have gone from what our ancestors fought for
Sexy sells and the confused ideologies which are broadly supported promote such dull hedonism, and a shallow popularity in all arenas.. But Langston is timeless. He never needed a sales pitch, just an open mind and open ears...and ready fingers to type his vision.
I attended an all-Black elementary school in North Carolina in the 1960s, and the first poet I ever learned about was Langston. He remains my favorite writer of all time. The first poem I learned of his in second grade was "Your head is like a featherbed." I'm telling everyone I know about this documentary.
I would love to know how Langston would feel about his former home now being owned by a white man who went through all of his personal artifacts. Considering the racial tension that existed back then I wonder how he would feel. I would love to visit his home when I go to New York next month.
I worked hard, went to white schools of my parents making… l have read about and visited the the land of Langston… but oh what I would give to have lived there!
