Langston Hughes

First published 1930

Sandy Rogers grows up in a Black family in Kansas, surrounded by women whose differing hopes shape his understanding of work, faith, music, and respectability. Langston Hughes follows his childhood and adolescence with close attention to migration, racial constraint, and the sustaining presence of laughter.
