langston hughesÂ
i'm currently reading tim's research paper. here's an exclusive excerpt:
"Hughes even touched on sensitive and disturbing topics of racial conflict such as lynching. The poem “Three Songs about Lynching” depicted scenes of a lynching process. The poem protested the evil and injustice of lynching. Its tone was bitter over the façade of justice delivered that had caused so many black men to die. In the poem, the silent body of the dead man who was lynched was left out hanging from the tree. According to Heather Zadra, this body shows the blacks refusal to die the death that the whites had died of, an emotional death that destroyed their good judgment of human compassion and numbed their senses."
That's a deep part of the paper but that's all that's on the page now. and the whole paper is deep, anyway.
Right, have the rest to read... bye for now
