And the process is surprisingly simple.

Welcome to the Future of All that You Can Be

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. – Langston Hughes

That quote comes from a man who had every reason to give up and accept the dark, dreary version of life the world wanted to give him, but instead chose to laugh in the face of darkness. He was Langston Hughes, a black American poet and one of the main figures in the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. His incredible works and beautiful outlook on life all came from his appreciation of his struggle and the time he took to connect with everyone around him.

Early in his life, Langston experienced the worst that life can give a small child. At a young age, his parents divorced. This was in the early 1900s when a divorce meant shame on a family and mothers often struggled to work. His mother took him to live with her and his grandmother in their family home.

After the death of his grandmother, Langston and his mother moved from city to city, never quite settling, until finally they stopped and set down roots in Cleveland, Ohio. Despite having to attend so many schools, constantly adapt to change, and live in uncertain times, Langston found something to get him through it all—poetry.

It didn’t take long for Langston to realize that he could write a poem wherever he went. He could scribble them on napkins, scraps of brown paper, a notebook; poetry never left him. After he graduated high school, he published The Negro Speaks of Rivers in a magazine called The Crisis. His poem got him some literary acclaim, but more importantly, it opened doors for him.

The fame took him to Columbia University in New York, where he fell in love with Harlem. He dubbed New York, The Great Dark City and spent endless nights exploring his favorite neighborhood. He stayed for one year, then had to get a job. He decided to work as a steward on a freighter bound for Africa. A follow-up trip took him to Europe, where he met writers Arna Bontemps and Carl Van Vechten. The three became close friends and kept in touch for the rest of their lives.

The next year, Langston won a poetry prize and got a collection of poems, The Weary Blues, published by Knopf, an influential publishing house.

Through it all, Langston had to balance work and writing. Nothing he earned ever seemed to be enough to keep him afloat, so, despite his award-winning work, he took menial jobs to pay the bills. One night, working as a busboy in a large dining room, he recognized one of his customers. It was esteemed poet Vachel Lindsay, a white man who had some real pull in literary circles.

Langston took a chance and left three of his poems next to Vachel’s plate, hoping he would read the pieces. Vachel fell head over heels for Langston’s work and quickly took him under his wing. Sure, the papers that reported on their friendship gushed about how Vachel discovered this fabulous black poet, but Langston knew that while the narrative was false, it would work in his favor.

He was right. Langston’s new exposure earned him a second scholarship, this time to Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, and covered his expenses so he could complete his degree. There, he developed his voice and technique, networked, and focused on using his writing for racial justice.

One of those efforts was a manifesto called The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain that he published in a magazine. In it, he wrote, We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, it doesn’t matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too. The tom-tom cries and the tom-tom laughs. If colored people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure doesn’t matter either.

It was Langston’s dream to stop being one black man in a group of white writers. He constantly called on new, young writers to join him in hopes of helping his community stop living up to an arbitrary, white standard. He dreamed of a world where black men could be genuine and open about who they were.

Those dreams pushed him forward in his writing career. Langston’s poetry and outspoken approach to racial justice got him publishing deals on books, led to a two-part autobiography on his life, the chance to stage theatrical productions, and even travel the world.

Langston wanted to see the world, but he started with the American south. This was in 1931, the same year as the infamous Scottsboro case, in which nine young black boys faced a rape charge against two white women. As he took in the facts, Langston decried the case and the racism at play. A doctor confirmed no sign of any rape existed on either victim while the court called for the death penalty on all nine boys, the youngest only twelve.

The group escaped the noose thanks to a huge outcry from social groups and leaders like Langston, but he never forgot them. He continued to tell stories from the black perspective, moving into theater productions and even retelling the story of baby Jesus specifically for black audiences in the gospel play Black Nativity.

His work and his calls to other writers eventually gave him the chance to publish anthologies that celebrated young, black talent. He also documented the works of the Black Panther Party towards the end of his life. The work wasn’t published until after he passed away, but it remained vital to the new generation of revolutionaries.

To this day, students read Langston Hughes’ work because it is living proof that faith in yourself, the love of your own work, can move every obstacle out of your way. His plays, his collections of poetry, his autobiography—all of it continues to be a light for any reader or writer who wants to hear a new, unique voice.

Imagine, a young Langston going through high school in 1918 - 1921, a time when black men around him are called to war and asked to die for the same country that made them slaves. He watched his mother struggle every day with divorce, the passing of her mother, and crippling poverty. Yet, through all of this, he found a deep love for writing and it carried him to new, incredible places.

Most parents today might roll their eyes at the thought of their child writing poetry, so imagine the attitudes back in the early twentieth century. Poetry? For a young black man? And he wants money for it? His ears must have rung with their laughter and derision.

But that didn’t stop him, not even close. Neither did leaving an incredible school in New York after only one year of education. A job as a busboy wasn’t a step-down, it was a step closer to literary stars who liked to eat in his dining room. The moment a white man presented Langston to the world, completely disregarding his past work, must have smarted, yet at the same time, it opened up the world to him in a new way.

Through it all, Langston had to have faith in himself, because no one else had any faith
