I always loved how, when reading his poems, Hughes made me feel like he was talking directly to me. I read this poem as a child and felt very stirred by it. I'm a middle-class white woman, and I still felt like this was pointed at me, both accusing me of my faults and encouraging me to be better. I love Langston Hughes.

Every soul can see from here. You'd hope.

2018, racism alive and well. Shameful.

a very powerful poem about what happens when we don't share and greed takes over us.
