You are invited. To a most marvelous party. For a most marvelous man. A man who turned the alphabet into “thump a bump.” Who turned words into jazz and rivers into bustin’ a move.

All of his word-children will be there, uh-huh. Because it’s a party for Langston.

Langston Hughes. King o’ Letters. Renaissance Man. So don’t be shy. Come on in.

To the hoopla in Harlem.

Everyone is welcome.
