Happy Birthday, Langston Hughes !
I am impressed by the detail of the wikipedia entry on Langston Hughes.
In the Further Reading section, there is a link to a "stub" about the Langston Hughes Society which was founded, of course, by George Houston Bass who with Rhett S. Jones, founded my beloved Rites And Reason Theatre.
If you are in or near New York City, and I understand the Snow and Sleet, etc, are not that bad there at the moment, there is a Long Community Langston Hughes Reading today at The Schomburg Center.
I recommend visiting the websites for the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture ... which is part of The New York Public Library ....
This blogger loves libraries.
Rhode Islanders will celebrate Langston Hughes this Sunday thanks to Isis Storm and RISD, starting at 1:00 P.M.
If the snow, sleet and rain continue, I hope there is consideration for rescheduling, however.
Why is George Houston Bass' name not mentioned in the History of the Langston Hughes Society ?
"Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby."
~~ Langston Hughes

eat, drink , stop the war: 6/1/08 in historic Pawtuxet...
Richard Walton's Annual Birthday Celebration!
The following is the text of the invite in "Peace Talks" vol.13. #2 May/June 2008, R.I. Peace & Justice Education Fund:
Richard Walton's 80th Birthday Party, Part I, Sunday June 1. As usual, about 2 o'clock at 1 & 5 Grenore Street, off Narragansett Parkway, just south of the Cranston city line in the historic Pawtuxet section of Warwick. And as usual it's a potluck benefit for Amos House and the Providence-Niquinohomo Sister City Project.
Usually as lot of of the most interesting people in Rhode Island are there so it's usually a pretty good party.
Please come. Questions? richard@richardjwalton.org or 781-7504.
In addition: The area code is (401). People from Massachusetts and Connecticut and many other places have been known to attend. The wikipedia entry for Richard is woefully lacking. Richard is like the older brother I always wanted. Oddly, he knew my grandfather when they both worked for the World Telegram & Sun in New York City about 6 decades ago ( maybe 5).
