A poem by Langston Hughes was first published in 1926, during the height of the Harlem Renaissance,
the poem portrays American racism as experienced by a black man. In the poem, white people deny the speaker
a literal and metaphorical seat at the table. However, the speaker asserts that he is just as much as part
of America as are white people, and that soon the rest of the country will be forced to acknowledge the beauty
and strength of black people.
