  3. Hughes, Langston Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was an American author. He wrote works in all forms, including plays, poetry, and short pieces called sketches. He was born in Joplin, Missouri. He became best known for his poetry and his sketches about an outspoken, emotional African American man called “Simple.” Simple gives his opinions on issues of the day. Hughes used Simple to show what an intelligent but uneducated African American man might say. In his poetry, Hughes wrote proudly about African American people. He used rhythms of African American music in his poetry. His success probably inspired other African American poets to experiment with such rhythms in their poetry.
