Art, Healing, and the American Dream feat. Poetry of Langston Hughes – Poetry Corner

Welcome back to the Completed Life Poetry Corner! In this video, Delano Copprue, PhD. walks us through the work of Langston Hughes. Delano explores how Hughes’ poetry, and his work in the larger context of the Harlem Renaissance, can help us to heal. During Black History Month, Hughes’ poetry reminds us to consider the historical realities that exist with regards to Black Americans access to healthcare. The Completed Life Initiative considers challenging the prevailing inequities in the American healthcare system to be as important as all of our other work.
