Search the internet for Langston Hughes’ poem “Dream Deferred (Harlem 2)”, and read it thoroughly. This poem was written in response to the budding civil rights movement in the mid-20th century. But that was a while ago, why is this poem still in the canon? Does it appeal to a 21st century audience? Why or why not? Be specific; it’s not enough to say it’s still in the canon because it’s a good poem or because people can relate to it– what does that mean?
