The Negro Speaks of Rivers by Langston Hughes ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Background about this poem (from  Langston Hughes, American Poet  by Alice Walker): “ No matter what anybody said about black people, Langston knew he would always love them. To him they were courageous and strong. He thought of the souls of black people as great rivers - rivers very old and deep; rivers that reached all the way back to Africa. As the train crossed over the muddy waters of the Mississippi River near St. Louis, Langston wrote this poem…It was his first poem to be published after high school.”
