Langston Hughes http://youtu.be/ir0URpI9nKQ?t=3m1s What are 5 things you learned about Langston Hughes life? What do you think influences his writings?

Langston Hughes and the American Dream “Let America Be America Again” Published in Esquire in 1938 This is only the beginning of it As a whole, it examines the unfulfilled American dream for African Americans, immigrants, and poor people Appears to be hopeless; however, towards the end, the speaker declares “America will be!”

Why would Hughes have felt that “America never was America to me”? Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.) Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed-- Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above. (It never was America to me.) O, let my land be a land where Liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe. (There's never been equality for me, Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.") Why would Hughes have felt that “America never was America to me”? What did Hughes think about the American dream? How does this represent the ideas of the Harlem Renaissance?
