, has tapped star April Parker Jones to recite Langston Hughes’ 1922 poem “Mother to Son” in honor of its 100th anniversary.In the show, Jones will play Viola, mother of Will, who sends her son from West Philadelphia to Bel-Air, hoping he can carve out a safer, more fruitful life there.
That element of the show’s core conceit echoes the themes in Hughes’ poem, and Jones delivers an emotional performance over footage from the new series: “So boy, don’t you turn back/Don’t you set down on the steps/’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard/Don’t you fall now—/For I’se still goin’, honey/I’se still climbin’/And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.”
