  • Does he say, "Now, WITH almost a hundred years of freedom..."

    or, "Now, SINCE almost a hundred years of freedom..."?

  • I just listened and he said "since"

  • like the slide but sorry the poem doesnt say "besides they'll see how beautiful we are" its "besides they'll see how beautiful i am" other then that great

  • I actually noticed the same thing when I was making the slides. When Langston used the word "we" when reading his poem aloud, I decided to write it the same way. He does use the word "I" in all other parts of the poem, and your probably right that the official poem uses "I"

  • I imagined his voice to be different

  • Rather, as Malcolm X realized, the American nightmare. 

  • 3 people are racist >:(

  • Morgan Freeman mastered his voice!

  • Very nice Video, please checkout my Langston Hughes video too...

    

  • I got here from Avan Jogia's Tumblr. :)

  • In this poem he says, "Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes." On all of my books it says, "Tomorrow, I'll sit at the table When company comes."

  • I read this poem when I was only a little girl. I had no idea what it meant- I took it literally.

    Mr Hughes- for all there is still racial injustice in this world- I hope you can see how true your words became
