Local school to kick off Black History Month
Pinckney Elementary will celebrate life of author Langston Hughes
By Shelly Solon Kansan staff writer
A Langston Hughes Day celebration will mark the beginning of Black History Month in Lawrence.
Students will honor Hughes today at Pinckney Elementary School, 801 W. 6th St. Hughes attended Pinckney and New York Elementary Schools in Lawrence as a child.
Hughes, whose birthday is tomorrow, was author of more than 35 books, a poet, playwright, novelist and a figure in the Harlem Renaissance, which was an upsurge in the literature, music and theater in the 1920s. In 1930, he published "Not Without Laughter," a novel about his childhood in Lawrence. The opening line of one of his poems, "Tomorrow stands before us like a flame...", is featured on a statue at city hall.
Nancy Gill, fifth-grade teacher at Pinckney, said students planned to perform a program about Hughes' life and read his poetry.
"We are basically honoring a former Pinckney student," Gill said "We want kids to know that success is there, and that we need some people to do great things like Hughes did."
Each student will write about what they dream for and put it on an "I Dream a World," banner in honor of Hughes' poem of the same name, she said.
Gill said that last year the school renamed its library as The Langston Hughes Children's Library.
Despite the current recognition of Hughes, his life in Kansas was marked by poverty, loneliness and racial discrimination. Hughes once protested his seventh-grade English teacher's decision to move all the African-American children into separate row from the white students.
Ben Graham, Lawrence resident, is organizing a Langton Hughes celebration for Feb. 13. The event will benefit the libraries at Pinckney and New York schools.
The celebration will feature music, performances by the Black Poets Society, and a presentation by Bill Andrews, Hall professor of English at KU. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Arts Center, Ninth and Vermont streets. Admission is $5.
"it's fitting to raise money for these libraries with a tribute to Langston Hughes," Graham said. "He lived right here on Alabama Street and attended those schools. It seemed to be relevant to use this production to benefit children in working-class schools."
Kwabena Nketia, KU Langston Hughes professor for spring, will give the Black History Month opening lecture Monday. Nketia will give the speech, "African Roots Explore New Worlds: Pre-Columbus to the Space Age," at 7:30 p.m. at the Big Eight room in the Kansas Union.
Nketia was a Mellon professor of music at the University of Pittsburgh.
The Langston Hughes professorship was established in 1977.

Martin said Haskell was chosen because of its resources and central location.
*This is a real opportunity for Haskell to showcase what we have here, and it will be good for the Lawrence community," Martins said in a statement Wednesday.
There are three other departmental training centers throughout the United States. The centers are in Denver, Inquereque, N.M. and Washington, D.C.
Susan Hoffmann, manager of the Denver center, said the centers trained department employees in nontechnical areas such as supervising and managing. The center also will offer training to department employees in such areas as ethics, computers and labor relations.
Don Hake, manager of the Albuquerque center, said the Bureau of Indian Affairs helped with Haskell's selection. The bureau is a division of the Interior Department.
In a writer, statement, Sharon Corlon, manager of the new Haskell center, said training would begin in March.
The center at Haskell will train bureau employees, but also will train other department employees, he said.
Condon said the center would help the school's image.
"People from all over the United States will be coming here," she said.
The center will be in the college's administration building, Navarre hall.
