 Began seriously writing in high school  First book The Weary Blues published in 1926  Not Without Laughter wins Harmon gold medal for Literature in 1930  Walt Whitman and Carl Sandburg among his greatest influences in writing

 Part of Montage of a Dream Deferred  Is the voice/anthem of those who had dreams that were limited and “cut off”  Hughes stated that his work aimed to explain and illuminate the Negro condition in America."  Broke the mindset of not showing and addressing the low class, limited African American life

 Simply explores the unknown aspects of never living out a dream. Hughes is speaking from the point of view of the oppressed African American, but the idea applies to everyone. He is simply vocalizing, and writing down the question that we all ask within ourselves sometime in our lives.
