This poem I,Too, by Langston Hughes is a very prophetic poem in what is happening in our nation of cultural diversity. V I D E O attached
I posted this:
A beautiful and prophetic poem with the unstilled and lauded cultural diversity of our own epoch. This freedom and democracy for all men! Is it an elusive chimera? Can we really believe in its coming this time? Are men really mature enough to take this not only in stride but in grips? They have not been mature enough in the past. Will they now and in the future?

How can we ever conceive of freedom as long as there is a starving child like the one in this photo to crowd in on our grandiose dreams. This picture occured in the Warsaw ghetto of l943.
