One year ago, I was approached by a local Topeka,Ks. organization with the revelation that the home I have lived in for 25 yrs had been the home of a very young Langston Hughes and his mother for a period of about 2 yrs. It is surmised his mother had been domestic help during that time. On Feb. 10th (this year) the local Landmarks Commission voted to grant historic status to my home.
