Langston Hughes was part of the Harlem Renaissance and was known as "the poet laureate of Harlem." His poems tell of the joys and miseries of the ordinary black man in America. In Hughes’ poem "Dream Deferred" he uses figures of speech‚ tone‚ and a unifying theme to show how black people’s dreams were delayed.
