Hughes's last collection of poems commemorates the experience of Black Americans in a voice that no reader could fail to hear--the last testament of a great American writer who grappled fearlessly and artfully with the most compelling issues of his time. Langston Hughes is a titanic figure in 20th-century American literature ... a powerful interpreter of the American experience. --The Philadelphia Inquirer
From the publication of his first book in 1926, Langston Hughes was America's acknowledged poet of color. Here, Hughes's voice--sometimes ironic, sometimes bitter, always powerful--is more pointed than ever before, as he explicitly addresses the racial politics of the sixties in such pieces as Prime, Motto, Dream Deferred, Frederick Douglass: 1817-1895, Still Here, Birmingham Sunday. History, Slave, Warning, and Daybreak in Alabama.
