Langston Hughes argues in his New York Post column that art fuels democratic thought during the civil rights era. He notes student activism as a prime driver, calls for unity among Negro groups, and discusses school integration methods including bussing and boycotts. He recalls racial prejudice from housing to cafeteria service and reflects on his own Columbia years and recent stage work Jericho Jim Crow.
