#DidYouKnow? One of America’s most important and distinguished poets was mayor of the town of Langston, Oklahoma, and a professor at Langston University. Melvin... B. Tolson wrote three major, book-length works of poetry for which he is most famous: Rendezvous with America (1944), Libretto for the Republic of Liberia (1953), and Harlem Gallery (1965).
