蓝斯顿．休斯 (Langston
Hughes) 出生
1902年2月1日
休斯喜欢写作，同时也下定决心要让他的作品广为人知。西元1925年，当他在华盛顿特区的一间饭店里担任餐厅服务生时，他悄悄的把三首诗作放到一位客人的手提包里，这个客人叫做维秋．林赛 (Vachel
Lindsay) ，是一位有名的诗人。林赛很喜欢这些诗，所以帮助休斯取得奖学金，让他顺利进入宾州的林肯大学就读。休斯在那里取得学位，并且出版了诗集与小说。休斯后来也促成「哈林文艺复兴运动」 (Harlem
Renaissance) 的举办，这是由非裔美籍人士在1920年代于纽约市哈林区的艺术表现活动。
Hughes loved to write and was determined to make his work known. In 1925, while working as a busboy at a hotel in Washington D.C., he slipped three poems into the shoulder bag of guest Vachel Lindsay, who was famous for his performances of poetry. Lindsay liked the poems and as a result, Hughes received a scholarship to Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. There he earned his degree and published collections of poetry and stories. Hughes was part of the Harlem Renaissance, a flourishing of artistic expression by African Americans centered in the community of Harlem in New York City in the 1920s.
