This week’s column celebrates the creative mind of Black poet Langston Hughes.
It includes these lines from “Call to Creation”:
“Listen! Futile beauty-makers —
Work for awhile with the pattern-breakers!
Come for a march with the new-world-makers:
Let beauty be!”
“Langston Hughes, “In spite of all, Life must not cease””
