Printed material, 1932-1967 and undated.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191102113

Collection contains printed material for both appearances by Hughes and performances of his work in a wide range of venues. Includes broadsides, programs, leaflets, playbills, announcements, advertisements, and invitations, primarily for his theater works, but also for his readings, addresses, talks, discussions and other appearances. Other artists mentioned include Arna Bontemps, Paule Marshall, William M. Kelley, Mahalia Jackson, and Margaret Bonds. While about half the items have a full date, other pieces contain only the month, day, and time for the event. It is unclear whether Hughes served as the collector for the material.
