Langston Hughes, The Weary Blues.

In many cases a person can not rely on one perspective to get the entire story. The "Langston Hughes Weary Blues" video illustrates this idea that there are always two parts to a story. In the clip which takes place during the Harlem Renaissance images are shown of headliners dancing singing and displaying other arts on stage, they appear to be having a good time. The images present just one perspective of the shows that are occurring during the Harlem Renaissance, the audience in the crowd's point of view.

In Langston Hughes poem which is being read in the video, the speaker explains how an artist feels playing the blues one night on on Lennox avenue. The crowd is swaying with him enjoying his music but they are not aware of his genuine emotions. The speaker of the poem states "The singer stopped playing and went to bed. While the weary blues echoed through his head," meaning that the performer was not just putting on a show but truly feels like he is in deep depression. Even though the crowds in these shows see performers dancing and making beautiful music the artist can feel a completely different way. The video shows a double perspective of the Harlem Renaissance.
