He was the first African-American to publish a story that featured unabashedly Homosexual characters and desires. He collaborated on the groundbreaking literary publication, ''Fire''. He is a principal character in the 2004 film '' Brother To Brother '', in which it is said that Langston Hughes - a ''very'' important figure in the Harlem Renaissance (and, like Nugent, also a gay one) - wrote the poem "Song for a Gifted Child." In 2002 Duke University Press released ''Gay Rebel of the Harlem Renaissance: Selections from the Work of Richard Bruce Nugent'' which included examples of his writing and artwork. He was a contemporary of Langston Hughes , Aaron Douglass , Wallace Thurman and Zora Neale Hurston . |
