Another great #GoodtypeTuesday entry by @wiselettering. Work and words below by Elizabeth: ・・・ “Hold fast to dreams. For if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.” - Langston Hughes, 1902-1967 . . In honour of Black History Month, our #goodtypetuesday challenge is to letter a quote or the name of a historical African American hero. Langston Hughes was an award winning American poet first recognized as an important literary figure during the 1920’s, and is seen as one of the founding fathers of Harlem Renaissance and jazz poetry. He fought for social justice and racial equality through his poetry, columns, books and plays. . . . . #BlackHistoryMonth @goodtype #letteringcommunity #letteringchallenge #holdfasttodreams #langstonhughes #blackhistorymatters #africanamericanheritage #blackpoets #africanamericanpoet #procreatelettering #ipadlettering #ipadprolettering #ipadproletteringpractice #ipadproartist #ipadproart #ilovemississauga #torontoletteringcrew #torontolettering #harlemrenaissance #jazzpoetry #letteringlife #calligrafriends #calligrafitti #strengthinletters #blackandwhitelettering #digitallettering #mississaugalife #letteringart #letteringdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Btg5LyPnizD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i7rtyascmh1
