Luck
by Langston Hughes
Sometimes a crumb falls From the tables of joy, Sometimes a bone is flung.
To some people Love is given, To others only heaven.

The film "Looking for Langston" (1989) by Isaac Julien (re)imagines Langston Hughes' gay exploits. The poet's ghost haunts a 1920s speakeasy/gay bar alongside the spectre of James Baldwin, the voices of Toni Morrison and Stuart Hall, recreations of photos by George Platt Lynes, and queer icons of the Harlem Renaissance, while twink angels-and the shadow of the AIDS crisis-watch over it all.

Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable was born in Saint-Domingue, Haiti (French colony) during the Haitian Revolution. At some point he settled in the part of North America that is now known as the city of Chicago and was described in historical documents as "a handsome negro" He married a Native American woman, Kitiwaha, and they had two children. In 1779, during the American Revolutionary War, he was arrested by the British on suspicion of being an American Patriot sympathizer. In the early 1780s he worked for the British lieutenant-governor of Michilimackinac on an estate at what is now the city of St. Clair, Michigan north of Detroit. In the late 1700's, Jean-Baptiste was the first person to establish an extensive and prosperous trading settlement in what would become the city of Chicago. Historic documents confirm that his property was right at the mouth of the Chicago River. Many people, however, believe that John Kinzie (a white trader) and his family were the first to settle in the area that is now known as Chicago, and it is true that the Kinzie family were Chicago's first "permanent" European settlers. But the truth is that the Kinzie family purchased their property from a French trader who had purchased it from Jean-Baptiste. He died in August 1818, and because he was a Black man, many people tried to white wash the story of Chicago's founding. But in 1912, after the Great Migration, a plaque commemorating Jean-Baptiste appeared in downtown Chicago on the site of his former home. Later in 1913, a white historian named Dr. Milo Milton Quaife also recognized Jean-Baptiste as the founder of Chicago. And as the years went by, more and more Black notables such as Carter G. Woodson and Langston Hughes began to include Jean-Baptiste in their writings as "the brownskin pioneer who founded the Windy City." In 2009, a bronze bust of Jean-Baptiste was designed and placed in Pioneer Square in Chicago along the Magnificent Mile. There is also a popular museum in Chicago named after him called the DuSable Museum of African American History.

I hope Eddie Kingston and Keith Lee are doing well.
I hope Luchasaurus is able to have a smooth recovery.
I hope Adam Cole is doing okay, too (that bastard).
I hope Big E's neck keeps healing up.
I hope everyone else out with injury or illness is able to make as full a recovery as they can.

Lenin
by Langston Hughes
Lenin walks around the world. Frontiers cannot bar him. Neither barracks nor barricades impede. Nor does barbed wire scar him.
Lenin walks around the world. Black, brown, and white receive him. Language is no barrier. The strangest tongues believe him.
Lenin walks around the world. The sun sets like a scar. Between the darkness and the dawn There rises a red star.
