Event Description
In celebration of National Arts and Humanities Month, Associate Professor Jason Miller will examine Langston Hughes' poems on lynching and explore their effects on survivors, victims and perpetrators. In his recently published book, Langston Hughes and American Lynching Culture, Miller investigates nearly three dozen poems written by Hughes that reveal the complex interplay between politics, culture, and art.
Miller will be joined by student Jazmine Davis who will perform "Strange Fruit," a song made famous by Billie Holiday. |
