I Have A Dream And Let America Be America Again: Literary Analysis

The two themes in the texts, “I Have A Dream” by Martin Luther King, and “Let America Be America Again” by Langston Hughes were both directed to the conflicts in that period of time. Although they are very similar, they also differ. In Martin Luther King’s, “ I Have A Dream” he talks more about African Americans and how their rights are different from whites just because of their skin color. While in Langston Hughes poem he talks about immigrants, African Americans, Native Americans, and poor people. In paragraph 3 of MLK’s speech it states,” But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. On hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.” This quote
