Manuscripts
This collection is arranged in three parts. The first part consists of a pocket diary, manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, and ephemera to, by, and about Langston Hughes. The second part of the collection consists of photographs and another Hughes pocket notebook. The third part consists of letters, ephemera and photographs primarily by Loren Miller and related to the 1932 Soviet Union trip. Langston Hughes was a close friend of Loren and Juanita Miller. Hughes and Miller traveled to the Soviet Union in 1932 with 19 other African-Americans onboard the ship Europa for a film project that never materialized. The bulk of the material dates between 1932 and 1934, the years that Langston Hughes traveled to and from the Soviet Union and Mexico. There are two photographs from onboard the Europa including a group photograph of 20 of the 22 who traveled to the Soviet Union. There are also two books autographed by Langston Hughes to Loren and Juanita Miller that were transferred to Rare Books in August 2002. These books are One-Way Ticket (RB 606889) and Simple Speaks His Mind (RB 606888).
