Information on Langston Hughes & Margaret Danner album wanted!

[Hotspurman]

Does anyone have any information about the album Writers Of The Revolution by Langston Hughes and Margaret Danner? The album was released on the Black Forum label in 1970 and the only references I can find are the front cover and a track listing of Part 1 and Part 2. I suspect that the album comprises Margaret Danner reading Langston Hughes poems, based on the fact that Hughes died in 1967. If so, does anyone know what poems are featured? Any other information on the album would be most appreciated!

Just listening to the first couple of minutes of the album. It appears to begin with a discussion between Hughes and Danner about African art. Given this and the fact that Hughes died in 1967, it can only be an old recording made prior to his death.

I read somewhere that Margaret Danner was in correspondence with Langston Hughes, possibly around the late 1940s. If the recording I refer to was an old recording, does anyone know when it might have been recorded?

Look at Suzanne Smith's Book Dancing in the Street. There is a whole discussion of the history of this recording.

Many thanks for that - I'll search out a copy of the book!
