Langston Hughes was not into “black power”; his thing was “black is beautiful.” He didn’t slam doors closed, but opened them… and windows and eyes and minds…
The night is beautiful,
So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.
- From the Hughes poem “My People”
