I only wish that Hughes and the other giants of the Harlem Renaissance could be alive today to see an African American becoming president of the United States.

As for the discussion of America in these two memorable poems… I’d much rather live in the America of Langston Hughes (or Barack Obama) than live among the “real Americans” who were praised and targeted by John McCain and Sarah Palin.
