To continue its needed ambassador work and popular annual community poetry readings, the Committee is having a Langston's Harlem Nights fundraiser.

In the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance, it will be an old-fashioned rent party with a jazzy, dress up, high-style-nightclub feel. There will be live jazz music to groove to, a best dressed competition, heavy hors d’oeuvres, displayed art that takes you back in time, rent party themed drinks and mocktails as well as other surprise performances, including poetry.

The maximum guests will be 200 people. The goal is to raise $30,000.

Individual Tickets: $75

Additional Sponsor, In-Kind Donations & Support Opportunities Availble

Thank you to your partnerships, collaboration and attendance over the years. We could not be nearing 30 years without your support.

 

Langston Hughes Community Poetry Reading Committee

https://www.lhughescpr.org/

For 28 years, the annual Langston Hughes Community Poetry Reading (LHCPR) has been the legacy event that remains the must-see opening entree into Black History Month events in Rhode Island. It celebrates the late Langston Hughes' ties to this State as well as amplifies his extended reach beyond being the writer and voice of the Harlem Renaissance. This occasion also continues to bring people together. A diverse group - young, old and of different backgrounds, professions, abilities and races - read and perform selected poems from Hughes' extensive collection of work in front of an audience of more than 500 people consistently over the last several years. In addition to its annual poetry readings, the committee of organizers are committed to being the torch bearer in New England for Hughes and his important contributions to American history, culture, and civic philosophy; raise awareness to all about the impact of Hughes' life and work then and now; introduce and teach curriculum about Hughes to younger generations and showcase the lessons learned with youth events; and foster community with Hughes' work as a natural conduit for engaged conversation and deep consideration.
