Langston Hughes was one of the most prominent figures of the Harlem Renaissance and is often referred to as Harlem’s poet laureate. This film shows how Hughes successfully fused jazz, blues and common speech to celebrate the beauty of Black life. Hughes’ Dream Harlem presents a vision of the esteemed poet in present-day Harlem and makes an important case for Hughes’ impact on hip-hop and the spoken-word community.
