A Hughes honor
Joseph Thompson, Ph.D. (second from left), lecturer in African and Afro-American Studies and English, both in Arts & Sciences, helps unveil a new stamp of poet and author Langston Hughes recently at the downtown St. Louis Post Office. With Thompson are Stanley Franklin (left), chief executive officer of Network Food Staffing, and Mark Anderson, St. Louis postmaster. The release of the stamp coincides with the 100th anniversary of Hughes' birth -- in Joplin, Mo. -- and the 25th anniversary of the Black Heritage Series of stamps.
