Cristina Reitz-Krueger, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Carol Howard<\/p>\n

On his way to speak at Asheville\u2019s Allen High School for African American girls in 1949, the great Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes stayed overnight at Black Mountain College, which he described in a letter to the writer Carl Van Vechten as \u201cjust about the most amazing campus I have ever seen in my natural life \u2013 and interracial, too!\u201d<\/p>\n

The next day, he performed selections from his jazz- and blues-inspired poetry twice at the Allen School, first for the students and then for the general public. The matinee performance for students was organized by the school\u2019s NAACP chapter, whose treasurer, 11th grader Eunice Waymon, later became the celebrated jazz and blues musician and civil rights activist known as Nina Simone.<\/p>\n

In a newspaper column about the experimental college\u2019s efforts to integrate racially, Hughes would amend his description of the Lake Eden setting: \u201cBlack Mountain College, about 20 miles from Asheville, does not have a campus. It has a landscape. Its rustic buildings sprawl along one side of a lake with the wooded mountains for a backdrop. In the spring it sits in a bowl of lush green cooled by the lake waters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughes\u2019 descriptions of such spring landscapes in his poetry tend to be both hopeful and community-oriented. In an early poem, \u201cApril Rain Song,\u201d published in a Harlem-based magazine for children in 1921, he welcomes the calming effect of \u201csilver liquid drops\u201d on young city dwellers at night. In \u201cAn Earth Song\u201d (1925), Hughes\u2019 speaker has \u201cbeen waiting long for a spring song \/ strong as the shoots of a new plant.\u201d Here, the celebration of the season\u2019s long-anticipated arrival reflects the mood of cautious optimism in Harlem that accompanied the ongoing renaissance in African American arts, culture and political life. (Later, he famously captured a different mood in the 1951 poem \u201cHarlem\u201d\u2014the sober despair of \u201ca dream deferred.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Hughes reprises the theme of springtime renewal and its healthy effects on children in a 1947 poem, \u201cIn Time of Silver Rain\u201d: \u201cflowers lift their heads\u201d while \u201cdown the roadway \/ Passing boys and girls \/ Go singing.\u201d Nineteen forty-seven was also the year that Hughes moved into two rooms on the third floor of a newly renovated rooming house in Harlem. He was delighted with the Victorian brownstone and with what he described to a friend as its \u201cbeautiful lawn in the back garden under tall trees.\u201d He requested that Boston ivy be planted in front of the house, and, to this day, visitors to 20 East 127th Street may still see ivy vines snaking up the facade of the building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n

It was on a tiny plot of earth beside the front steps of this home that Hughes established \u201cOur Block\u2019s Children\u2019s Garden,\u201d a flower garden enclosed by a white picket fence, where he taught neighborhood children how to plant and tend nasturtiums, asters and marigolds. A 1955 photo records the poet happily crouching next to the plot, surrounded by youngsters, one of whom is demonstrating the use of a watering can as others look on. Twenty-eight children signed their names on the round placard proudly displayed in front of what had once been a trampled patch of city mud, now transformed into a community garden oasis.<\/p>\n
