I really liked the particular poem by Langston Hughes because i think it really showed what these people thought of America back then. Their idea of the American dream seemed so simple to ours today. They simply wanted to be free and have the same rights as everyone else while in todays society you have to have money and fame to be living the American dream. I really liked the part in the poem wher it says, "O, let America be America again".

not people in general, the black community is more like it. the poem says "let america be america again", this means that america stands for freedom, and this isn't what african americans were allowed, and that was just wrong.
