Black American History #26

Dr Clint Smith - Crash Course - Arts & Letters Of The Harlem Renaissance

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore - and then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags, like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

--Langston Hughes
