(2) K-3 Lonnie (Dinner at Aunt Connie's House) and Uncle Bates take a trip back in time to the height of the Harlem Renaissance. The pair visits landmarks in search of writer Langston Hughes--meeting greats such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Madam C. J. Walker along the way. More history lesson than story, the book is also a vehicle for Ringgold's accomplished acrylic paintings. Glos.
