Poem #4: "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes

The poem "Theme for English B" was an assignment Langston Hughes had to do for a college english class he was taking. He wrote about how being American is both being white and black. As Americans blacks are a part of whites and whites are apart of blacks, whether you want this to be true or not. I feel Langston Hughes is once again pleading for equal rights for blacks. He feels we shouldn't be looked at as black or white, but as Americans.
