Silhouette
Southern gentle
lady, Do not swoon. They've just hung a black man In the dark of the moon. They've hung a black man To the roadside tree In the dark of the moon For the world to see How Dixie protects Its white womanhood Southern gentle lady, Be good! Be good!
Langston Hughes

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed-- I, too, am America.
Langston Hughes

A Brown Girl Dead
With two white roses on her breasts,
White candles at head and feet,
Dark Madonna of the grave she rests;
Lord Death has found her sweet.
Her mother pawned her wedding ring
To lay her out in white;
She'd be so proud she'd dance and sing
to see herself tonight.
Countee Cullen

A Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore -
And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over -
like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?
- Langston Hughes, 1951

America Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth! Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate. Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there, Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand, Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.
Claude McKay

Democracy
Democracy will not come Today, this year
Nor ever Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has To stand
On my two feet And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too. I want freedom
Just as you. Langston Hughes
