  15. Countee Cullen Incident Once riding in old Baltimore, Heart-filled, head-filled with glee; I saw a Baltimorean Keep looking straight at me. Now I was eight and very small, And he was no whit bigger, And so I smiled, but he poked out His tongue, and called me, "Nigger.” I saw the whole of Balimore From May until December; Of all the things that happened there That's all that I remember.

  16. Langston Hughes Dream Deferred 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? Audio

  17. Langston Hughes I, Too I, too, sing America. Tomorrow, I am the darker brother. I'll be at the table They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes. When company comes, Nobody'll dare But I laugh, Say to me, And eat well, "Eat in the kitchen,” Then. And grow strong. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed- I, too, am America.

  18. Claude McKay If We Must Die If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursèd lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered let us show us brave, And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back! audio
