Hughes, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated this year, spent the four
most important years of his life in Cleveland, where he attended Central
High School and had "wonderful teachers" who helped him find his
literary voice, said Arnold Rampersad, Professor of English at Stanford,
in a lecture last Friday at JCU. Drawing on his two-volume work on Hughes,
Dr. Rampersad explored the link between the writer's life, the Harlem Renaissance and
the socio-political realties he found in the United States. |
