What did Langston Hughes have to do with the harlem rennaissance?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This sounds like a school question, so I assume some teacher wants you to do some research.

Hint: African-Americans once were much less respected than they are now, especially in the literary arts. Langston Hughes was not only a fine poet, he captured the mood and the agonies of his time. Ask yourself how a poet (or a hip-hop artist) could give more respect, pride, attention and money to a group of people.
