Slide 12: 

Poems by Langston Hughes MERRY-GO-ROUND: colored child at a carnival Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go-round, Mister, cause I want to ride? Down South where I come from White and colored Can’t sit side by side. Down South on the train There’s a Jim Crow car. On the bus we’re put in the back— But there ain’t no back To a merry-go-round! Where’s the horse For a kid that’s black?

Slide 13: 

MY PEOPLE The night is beautiful, So the faces of my people. The stars are beautiful, So the eyes of my people. Beautiful, also, is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.

Slide 14: 

DREAM VARIATIONS To fling my arms wide In some place of the sun, To whirl and to dance, Til the white day is done. Then rest at cool evening Beneath a tall tree While night comes on gently, Dark like me— That is my dream! To fling my arms wide In the face of the sun, Dance! Whirl! Whirl! Till the quick day is done. Rest at pale evening . . . A tall, slim tree . . . Night coming tenderly Black like me.

Slide 15: 

THE DREAM KEEPER Bring me all of your dreams, You dreamers, Bring me all of your Heart melodies That I may wrap them In a blue cloud-cloth Away from the too-rough fingers Of the world.
