Hughes's last collection of poems commemorates the experience of Black Americans in a voice that no reader could fail to hear -- the last testament of a great American writer who grappled fearlessly and artfully with the most compelling issues of his time.

"Langston Hughes is a titanic figure in 20th-century American literature... a powerful interpreter of the American experience." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer

From the publication of his first book in 1926, Langston Hughes was America's acknowledged poet of color. Here, Hughes's voice -- sometimes ironic, sometimes bitter, always powerful -- is more pointed than ever before, as he explicitly addresses the racial politics of the sixties in such pieces as "Prime," "Motto," "Dream Deferred," "Frederick Douglass: 1817-1895," "Still Here," "Birmingham Sunday." " History," "Slave," "Warning," and "Daybreak in Alabama."
