Langston Hughes was a writer who often made his readers ask hard questions about life. In Black Misery he wrote about prejudice and indifference, but he wrote with humor and compassion. The short but powerful one-sentence captions, along with Arouni's black and white drawings, tell of the predicament of a black child adjusting to the new world of integration of the 1960s.
