I'm guessing L.H. stands for Langston Hughes. The first website is about him. The second is about the Harlem Renaissance.

Langston Hughes is a famous black poet, and he was part of the Harlem Renaissance. Check out this website for more on him: \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langston_Hughes\n\nHere's a poem of his:\n\nDaybreak in Alabama\nfromThe Collected Poems of\nLangston Hughes \n\nWhen I get to be a composer\nI'm gonna write me some music about\nDaybreak in Alabama\nAnd I'm gonna put the purtiest songs in it\nRising out of the ground like a swamp mist\nAnd falling out of heaven like soft dew.\nI'm gonna put some tall tall trees in it\nAnd the scent of pine needles\nAnd the smell of red clay after rain\nAnd long red necks\nAnd poppy colored faces\nAnd big brown arms\nAnd the field daisy eyes\nOf black and white black white black people\nAnd I'm gonna put white hands\nAnd black hands and brown and yellow hands\nAnd red clay earth hands in it\nTouching everybody with kind fingers\nAnd touching each other natural as dew\nIn that dawn of music when I\nGet to be a composer\nAnd write about daybreak\nIn Alabama.

Langston Hughes published more than three dozen books during his life, beginning with poetry and then expanding into novels, short stories, and plays. He is closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance, the flowering of African-American literature and music in New York City following World War One. Hughes's work often spoke plainly about the lives of ordinary black people, which in later years earned him a reputation as one of the major black voices of the 1900s.

You might try to Chicago Cultural Center or the Chicago Historical Society.  I'd imagine that there are very few primary sources left alive at this point, but these two organizations probably have historians you could interview or know who the experts are.

You may be better off trying a library than online. Look for works by Phyllis Wheatley, Jupiter Hammond and Lucy Terry Prince. However, I think that what you will discover is that the African-Americans whose works were published at this time tended to write about subjects more palatable to a white audience. For example, consider this poem by Whitley, an African who was kidnapped and brought to America to be a servant in a Boston family, where fortunately she was educated.\n\nON BEING BROUGHT FROM AFRICA TO\nAMERICA.\n\n\n                         'T WAS mercy brought me from my pagan land,\n                         Taught my benighted soul to understand\n                         That there's a God--that there's a Saviour too:\n                         Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.\n                         Some view our sable race with scornful eye--\n                         'Their color is a diabolic dye.'\n                         Remember, Christians, Negroes black as Cain\n                         May be refined, and join the angelic train.\n\nIf was up to later writers to express the themes for which you are looking.  Look at the works of Paul Laurence Dunbar, who wrote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
