29      BLACK      PEOPLE      YOU      SHOULD      KNOW!

Before Jay Z and lil Wayne, there was Langston Hughes.

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn.
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind--
Of such I dream, my world!


I Too, Dream a World-What world do you dream of? Is your Dream Deferred? Do you suffer The Weary Blues? I thought of myself like
Negroes Speaks of Rivers. So excited, February was like a Harlem Renaissance!
So many options in The Big Sea of subjects of tribute! I Too, am encouraged!
