The lifelong concern of American writer Langston Hughes with racism and its consequences permeates his poetic works, many of which draw on musical rhythms and oral and improvisatory traditions. Here, in the poem “Harlem” (1951), Hughes meditates on the exclusion of blacks from the American Dream and the possible outlets for their feelings of anger and frustration. The poem is recited by an actor.
