Langston Hughes Let America Be America Again

Decent Essays
Since 1938, when Hughes wrote his poem, "Let America Be America Again", the African American middle class developed rather quickly. African American conquered important places in economy, social hierarchies or political while it was still very reduced since slavery was abolished.
In a much less positive way, we notice the impoverishment of the most deprived of the African American community, abandoned in unemployment, disastrous living conditions by abandoned by the State and the government. In 2005, the African American community living in New Orleans after Katrina struck the city were abandoned and help was delayed. First of all, before the hurricane, there was a successful evacuation of the White community while some African American were

    Connie Tang Weekly Reflection 4 In this essay I argue how the effects of Hurricane Katrina resulted in a perfect representation of structural racism as shown through the lack of structural and economic improvement as well as through the colossal gentrification issue that occurred in the aftermath. Before I explain how structural racism was perpetrated since Hurricane Katrina, I will first define the term structural racism. As described by President Obama, the federal government’s response to the disaster as a ‘continuation of passive indifference…’ rather than ‘evidence of active malice.’ Also, notable writer, Carl E. James, described society as a structure that excludes substantial numbers of people from minority backgrounds from taking part in social institutions.…

    After enduring calamities such as the Great Depression and two world wars, it would seem that things could only get better in the postwar era for the American people. For the most part, this is indeed the narrative that prevailed as the US filled into its role as a world superpower. As wartime production was repurposed for domestic use, the US economy enjoyed its highest period of growth in history. The middle class expanded dramatically, and for most of its white members this period of growth was accompanied by dramatic increases in purchasing power and overall standard of living. African Americans however, often found themselves living lives quite different from those seen in the picturesque suburban communities on television.…

    Langston Hughes, the author of the passage, uses the diction of equality to illustrate that black people desire to be treated the same way as white people are treated in America. He expresses what they want by using metaphors, as well as literal statements to get the point across to the reader. The point is that racism exists, despite the statements about freedom in the Constitution. The poem “Let America Be America Again” uses repetitive diction to convey the central idea of equality among every person in America. The title doesn’t mean that the author, Langston Hughes, wants the country back to the way it was when America was first founded.…

    “The home of the free and the brave every heart beats true where there's never a boast or brag” is from the song “Grand Ol’ Flag.” Walt Whitman would agree with this song because his poem “I Hear America Singing” give a positive look on America just like the song refers to America and how everyone is free. However Langston Hughes's poem was disagreeing with Witman, but Hughes's describes in his poem how much he wants freedom in America. Whitman wrote his poem in the mid 1800’s although Hughes wrote his poem in the mid 1900’s this fact is important, because it changes the people's perspective. Slavery or inequality did not become a real huge problem until the 1900’s.…

    The Color of Katrina Introduction On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit Southeast Louisiana causing one of the worst disasters the United States had seen in decades (Weik von Mossner, 2011, p. 146). The combination of a category 3 storm, a city below sea level, and several broken concrete levees resulted in a devastated community. Though the physical damage done by Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding was detrimental to all, some members of the community received a bigger blow than others. The truth is that not everyone’s suffering was the same.…

    Even after the Civil War, in which all African-Americans no longer were deemed as slaves, the life of the black person did not get easier. For generations, the struggle to come out of impoverished lifestyles had been deemed as almost impossible. Faced by segregation, no equal rights, and the KKK, the newly freed African-Americans were not able to completely submerge themselves to “freedom”. Little by little, new opportunities emerged; however, the depths of acrimony and pain prevented blacks to completely embrace them. Those who fought for the chance to make history, emerged successful, but those who let the past hold them back, continued to live in the restrictions of the past.…

Instead, they should fight for equal rights because nothing just comes while sitting around. Democracy was much needed during this time, because African Americans were still fighting for freedom.

In the past, African Americans were under oppression and often expressed their feelings about the future through literature. In his poem, “The White House”, Claude McKay talks about adversity that he has faced trying to fit in the society while Langston Hughes, in his poem “I Too Sing America”, states that he feels that he is an American. While both poems talk about hardships that African Americans face, they contrast in authors’ views of African Americans in the society.…
