They must be reading #LangstonHughes... “
Negroes - Sweet and docile, Meek, humble, and kind: Beware the day - They change their mind.” 🤦🏾♀️

But someday somebody'll
Stand up and talk about me,
And write about me —
Black and beautiful —
And sing about me,
And put on plays about me!
I reckon it'll be
Me myself!
Yes, it'll be me.

“I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the Earth
And peace its paths adorn..."

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

“Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.”

“Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.”

she, in the dark, found light
brighter than many ever see
she, within herself, found loveliness,
through the soul’s own mastery
and now the world receives
from her dower:
the message of the strength
of inner power
Happy Birthday #LangstonHughes

Folks, I'm telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean —
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

“To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me.”
