“Negro,” by Langston Hughes is a poem that represents the views of many African Americans in the 1920’s. I liked how he represented many different parts of the world and how African Americans most likely felt during this time period. I also liked how he didn’t hold back in the descriptions in every stanza. “The Belgians cut off my hands in the Congo,” in line 15 is an extremely moving and, unfortunately, true fact. It is obvious that Langston Hughes had a strong passion for expressing the views of African Americans during this time period and i commend that.
