“We younger negro artists who create intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, it doesn’t matter. We know we are beautiful. And Ugly too.
If colored people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure does not matter either…”

Langston Hughes -
The Negro and The Racial Mountain 1926
