There Was a Party for Langston, King of Letters

"In 1991 the New York Times photographer Chester Higgins Jr. went to a party at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and got a shot of Maya Angelou dancing with Amiri Baraka above the scattered ashes of Langston Hughes himself. Now kids can join this poetry party of the page as it cheers on America’s Black wordsmiths one and all, from W.E.B. Du Bois to Octavia Butler. Come for the celebration, stay for the jaw-dropping art and killer typography. You want a book topped up with Black joy? Come and get it! (For ages 4 to 8)"
