Rating: - Poetry of Langston Hughes
How wonderful it was to find out that there was material that contained the actual voice of the poet reading his poetry as he indented it to be heard. I purchased this recording to add to my library so that my 4 year old granddaughter will have the opportunity to hear her own history by someone who lived at a time when things were much different from a world that (I hope) will be very different from the wold in which she will be living.
