7.)We as a nation have done little in efforts to follow the foot steps of these men.

Langston Hughes

After reading Langston Hughes poem i get a sense of how he felt about America. Its evident that Langston Hughes is writting this poem for America. He reflects back on what he has to deal with everyday sense the existence of slavery. He feels oppressed. As far as I'm concerned, America has changed from the white establishment controlling the minds of blacks, and blacks have built a stronger voice. Three things that Langston Hughes would still be upset over would be lack of cultrual pride in the black community, graffitti and the lack of moral sense.
