Experience the voice that captured the essence of Black America during the Harlem Renaissance. \nHughes transformed American literature by infusing his poetry with jazz and the blues\, using the language of everyday life. His work related the real experiences of Black Americans while challenging divisions within the Black community itself\, including colorism and class prejudice. \nIn his portrayal\, Keith Henley explores Hughes’ artistic journey and a message of self-acceptance and personal empowerment. Audiences will be moved by Hughes’ timeless inspiration that everyone has “a song to sing” and that they should deeply consider the question: “Why not me?” \nThis final installment in our Living History series offers a chance to connect with the artist who gave voice to Black America during a transformative era in America’s cultural history. \n  \nSaturday\, April 18th\, 2026 @ noon \nBelmar Public Library\n517 Tenth Ave\, Belmar \n  \nFREE & OPEN to the public \nSeating limited\, registration required  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ icons_position=”left”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1735483771741{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_column fix_column=”” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” icons_position=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1735407634847{margin-right: 25px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”][vc_btn title=”REGISTER HERE” style=”classic” color=”green” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:%20https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2F8fh3KNsZhAZ7HGqJ7|title:Living%20History%3A%20Langston%20Hughes|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space hide_on_wide=”” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/c3ilcljVsVY?si=4FB7235641_XqvcQ” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
