The LHS president Rich Hancuff presented Colson Whitehead with the society’s President’s Award at City College’s Langston Hughes Festival held on Langston Hughes’s birthday and organized by Dr. Jervette Ward @Jervette , Director of Black Studies at @CityCollegeNY .
On Langston Hughes’s birthday, the Langston Hughes Society would like to share a photo of the home in which Langston Hughes worked for the last 20 years of his life.
The Langston Hughes Society retweeted
HAPPY BDAY to LANGSTON HUGHES, born on FEB 1, 1901 in Joplin, Missouri. Langston is my favorite writer, the poet who most has inspired my own poetry, & model for writing life that let me know I could do it. Being #Grammy -nominated poet this year I am clear I owe debt to Langston
The Langston Hughes Society requests proposals for our session at #ALA2024 in Chicago, May 23-24. View the CFP here: cfplist.com/CFP/40481

Looking forward to honoring and celebrating our legacy during #BlackHistoryMonth
CLA President @Jervette will be in the #ATL highlighting the #CLAscholars archives at the @AUCWoodruffLib —part of her commitment to celebrate our history as we plan for the future— "A Legacy of Black Literary Excellence: The College Language Association Nears Ninety." 2/29 11am
Join @CityCollegeNY as we honor Colson Whitehead during the 45th Annual Langston Hughes Festival on the First Day of #BlackHistoryMonth and on Hughes' Birthday! RSVP Now for this @CUNY event — ccny.cuny.edu/lhf
We encourage all members who are interested in contributing to the Society's success to consider taking on a leadership role. After all, your dedication and your expertise will help us further our mission and honor the legacy of Langston Hughes.
As we move forward, please note that additional information about filling the other available positions within the Langston Hughes Society Leadership Team will be shared by our incoming officers.
Dr. Ramon will transition into their leadership role in a few weeks after a set of transition meetings among the LHS Leadership Team.
His commitment to fiscal responsibility and his invaluable contributions to strengthening our financial processes during his first term have made him an essential member of the leadership team. I am confident that the Society will continue to grow under his care.
The election for the next set of LHS officers has officially closed, and we are thrilled to announce the results. Dr. Donavan Ramon (@dlramon86) has been elected to his second term as Langston Hughes Society Treasurer.
Dr. Hancuff will transition into their new leadership role in a few weeks after a set of transition meetings among the LHS Leadership Team.
His dedication to the Society and his profound understanding of Langston Hughes’ legacy make him an ideal candidate to lead the Society forward and to meet the challenge of increasing awareness of Hughes among this new generation of scholars and educational leaders.
The election for the next set of LHS officers has officially closed, and we are thrilled to announce the results. Dr. Richard Hancuff (@hancuff), who has diligently served for the past several years as the Society’s secretary, has been elected as the new President.
Results will be announced via Email as well as our social media channels, so take a moment to follow us on Facebook and Twitter in addition to joining the Langston Hughes Society today at LangstonHughesSociety.org.
At that time, the LHS Leadership Team will contact nominees and secure candidate statements before disseminating the ballot for an electronic vote. The goal is to conclude elections during the month of September and begin the transition period so that incoming officers can begin.
Nominations will be solicited through completion of the 2023 LHS Elections Nomination Form only at forms.gle/VWQGXBksgELQmY…, beginning on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. The window for nominations will close on Wednesday September 20, 2023 at 5:00 PM ET.
Note that in order to nominate a candidate to the slate for President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer, you must be a current member of the Langston Hughes Society. If you are uncertain of your status, please feel free to reach out to the LHS Treasurer, Donavan Ramon.
Now, as we open up nominations for the leadership positions with the Society, we hope to usher in a new team deeply committed to the founding mission and the pathways we have embarked upon in order to facilitate the Society’s growth.
Through the creation of panels, film discussions, and luncheons with commanding speakers in the field, we have been able to expand the scholarly conversation regarding Hughes, to shape a new generation of Hughes scholars, and to discuss the impact of Hughes across the globe.
Since its founding in 1982, the #LangstonHughesSociety (LHS) and its leadership team have been pivotal voices in increasing awareness about the life and writing of #LangstonHughes as well as his contemporaries.
To learn more about the Center for Antiracist Scholarship, Advocacy, and Action (CASAA) and its work, visit arcadia.edu/casaa.
Please save the date for April 10-11, 2023 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET, and be on the lookout for more information from CASAA staff and our campus partners, including the Social Justice Society, in the coming weeks and months.
