Langston Hughes Memorial Eyed in City Arts Project
Lawrence city commissioners agreed to seek bids for 20 bus route shelters costing 3008 to 5000 dollars each funded by a three year 500000 dollar federal grant. The plan may favor diverting 53000 dollars from the 2004 sesquicentennial budget to recognize Langston Hughes, known as the bard of Harlem, who spent part of his youth in Lawrence. A memorial at the Lawrence Arts Center, formerly a Carnegie Library, was proposed by the Lawrence Roundtable for the Arts. The first contract for shelters is slated for award at the end of October.
