A Day At Langston's

MissionI, Too Arts Collective is a non-profit organization committed to nurturing voices from underrepresented communities in the creative arts.#LangstonsLegacy CampaignIn July 2016, we launched a campaign to lease the Harlem brownstone Langston Hughes lived and created during the last twenty years of his life.Our hope is to preserve Langston’s legacy and build on it by providing programming for emerging writers. We signed the lease in October 2016 and run our programs out of the brownstone, which is located at 20 East 127th Street.
