Langston Hughes
I am .....
The first African American writer to be able to make a living off of writing.
Able to speak out about racial cruel judgmental matters.
An important historical figure of the Harlem Renaissance.
Going to put forth a poetic innovation that brings upon us musical traditions such as jazz, blues, etc.
Have unstoppable capabilities to be displayed through poetic words.
These inflicted his worldview by becoming a well known modernist and also as we know the first rapper ever known to society. He displayed his poetic words by standing up for racial profiling and judgments. Also he wrote and spoke about problems in the current society at the time. He became well known across the world and is a well known intellectual that is smarter than the average person. The way he spoke about his poetry, the way he said it was displayed in a way that is more memorable and unforgettable to the human mind.
What influenced him to write was the Harlem Renaissance, racial prejudice, his parents separating, going to a school where white people went, and his interest in music.
