    After the Civil War, African Americans were still experiencing discrimination and segregation. Many people chose to move North in search of equality and freedom.  Langston Hughes was one of these migrants. He moved to New York City to attend college at Columbia University. He settled in Harlem, a thriving city full of jazz and blues music, art, and culture. Hughes became the “Voice of the Harlem Renaissance” and opened a window into African American culture. He was a gifted man who inspired many people with his poetry, plays, short stories, and autobiographies. Eventually more African Americans banded together and formed groups like the NAACP, which led to the Civil Rights Movement. They organized boycotts, marches, and other peaceful demonstrations to fight to end segregation. After 10 years of protests, President Kennedy passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Many people today believe that Hughes’s literature and poetry inspired people to take the action needed to end segregation.

    Luke 15: 11-31  
The Prodigal Son  
Jesus gave them a parable and said, “A man had two sons.” 
“The younger son said to his father, Father, give me my inheritance from now.” 
“The father gave his two sons their inheritance.” 
“Some days later, the younger son packed his bags and went out of the country into another far country and there he spent his money foolishly.” 
“Now when he had spent all his money in that same country came a great famine.” 
“When this happened, he then began to be in need. He went and stayed with a citizen of that country, and he sent him out to work on the pig farm. He fed the pigs.” 
“And he ate the food that was for the pigs because no one gave him anything to eat.” 
“Then one day, he looked into himself and said, why am I here? How many of my father’s servants have enough bread to eat and I am here starving.” 
“I will get up and go back home to my father and say, I am sorry, and I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son but please make me a hired worker.”
