Success Thought of the Day – 2/16/22: Langston Hughes

I will not take ‘but’ for an answer. – Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes is known for his insightful portrayals of black life in America through novels, short stories, plays, and poetry.  His life and work were influential in shaping the artistic contributions of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.
