Music and poetry will soon overtake the Langston Hughes domicile again.

It is important to know that over eight hundred people have donated to help convert Hughes home into an art collection center.

On Friday, money and other supports went to the Langston non-profit contribution center to keep the center from gentrification. The story was proliferated on Facebook through an African-American magazine and journalist Dan Rather.

From 1948, Langston has resided on 20 E. 127th Street in East Harlem until 1967 when he died.

The platform of the Langston is simply an epicenter covered with poetry, jazz and other forms of art for anyone to access.

No one is residing in the Langston home and the place remains silent.

In fact, it is clear that the current landlord has planned to market the center before. As real estate continues to become a valued asset in the region, with time the current owner may be able to market the property.

The current owner of the place mentioned that she will not be able to market the home only if a support of forty thousand dollars can be raised to cover 6 months of rent.

The truth is that the objective of raising the amount required has been satisfied and exceeded.
