Blood And Water: Illustrating Langston Hughes’ ‘Rivers’
In 2014 to celebrate Black History Month, NPR Books asked Afua Richardson, an award-winning illustrator who’s worked for Image, Marvel and DC Comics, to illustrate something that inspired her. She created this extraordinary video – 50 seconds that perfectly melds the oral, visual, and textual traditions of storytelling into something of pure magic, resonant with historical echoes.

Air and Freedom: Seagulls
Before another sunrise wakes me, before another night is gone, I’ll find out where this highway takes me. You know I got to travel on. Left my troubles all behind me, back there when I climbed on board. Jordon River’s where you’ll find me It’s wide but not too wide to ford.
