![Cédric BRUT, 1 April 2004 02-
(1973) has my essay "Christ in Alabama: Religion
in the Poetry of Langston Hughes."
Hughes told me that his ambition was "to il—
luminate the condition of the Negro in America."
He put the voice of his people, their tones,
accents, and phrases into his works; and that
mixture includes "language jazzistique".
I wrote this letter in a hurry, necessarily,
and I hope that it helps you a little. Good luck
with your present and future projects.
Sincerely,
[signature - J Emanuel]](https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/system/resource/0/b/c/0bcc5ddd-a24e-4213-99ab-ece29f98fd58/attachment/f464467b879d95c859aeee90647f8b3c.jpg)
