African-American writer, jazzman, and civil rights campaigner, Langston Hughes, was a man of contradictions. He defied classification.

Bonnie Greer, award-winning author, playwright, writer for newspapers, and broadcaster, who hails from Chicago, gives an insight into his life and thoughts, the contradictions of his day, and the contradictions of ours.
