Negro_ Langston Hughes

When I read this story, I was pretty impressed with how proud Hughes is in this poem. He is describing his culture with pride. He wrote this poem in the time of the reneissance of the African American commumity with their literature. Despite whether they are African Americans or another race, it is always good for people to be proud of their heritage. Sometimes, people are ashamed of wheere they are from because they are just ashamed of their culture. But deep inside, people have to be prouc of where they are from, because if they deny where they are from, then basically they are denying themselves.
