The poem "Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes purposefully is reminiscent of Walt Whitman’s "I Hear America Singing" in which Whitman is optimistic about this land of democratic opportunity. Hughes‚ however‚ writing from a black man’s perspective‚ is much less optimistic about what American has been or will be.
