Press Release; Langston Hughes – The Value Of Contradiction ...
Gives us an insight into the controversial African-American writer and campaigner Langston Hughes, a jazzman, a man you could not predict or define, a man of contradiction who refused classification.
Langston campaigned tirelessly for civil rights, but testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee – seen by many as a witch-hunt. Bonnie refuses to ignore or excuse these contradictions but asks how they formed him. For Greer, to overlook, to excuse, is to dismiss an essential element of his genius and his passion.
Langston Hughes was a man far ahead of his time, writing, during the Harlem Renaissance, about the African-American reaction to a black president of the United States. With honesty and wit Bonnie confronts the contradictions of his day and ours and allows us to draw strength from the unsolvable world in which he found himself, and in which we still find ourselves in these strange and complicated times.
