Answer 14

I dont know if this helps but here Langston Hughes was one of the first poets of his era to fuse rhythm of blues, be-bop and jazz music with everyday language. He often incorporated African themes throughout the lines of his poetry. Hughes was not afraid to voice his opposition to the racial, social, and political inequality he saw around him. He also believed that poets were the dream keepers for their people, so dreams became a repeating them throughout his work. For example, in the poem "Harlem", Hughes wondered "what happens to a dream deferred." This line was the inspiration for Lorraine Hansberry play "A Raisin in the Sun." Dreams also come into play in his poem "Mother to Son" where a mama encourages her son to hang onto his dreams despite the struggles he may face. Hope this helps!
