This is the story of a young boy's awakening to the realities of black life in a Kansas town in the 1920s. It is neither the melodrama of Harlem's cabarets nor the sentimentality of southern cotton fields, but the sensitive perception of ordinary people meetings the problems of a complex world.

About the Author:
Langston Hughes (1902 1967) was born in Joplin, Missouri, and lived much of his life in Harlem, New York. As one America s most cherished chroniclers of the black experience, known for his work during the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes s work was constantly groundbreaking throughout his forty-six-year career. His poetry about the ocean and the symbolism that surrounds it stems from his travels through Africa and Europe working as a seaman.
