A major figure in the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes wrote “jazz poetry,” plays, and short stories. His works celebrate black culture while also acknowledging racism and discrimination. In 2015, on Hughes’ 113th birthday, Google featured a doodle of the poet writing on his typewriter. The animated sequence showed lines from the poem “I Dream A World.” Hughes frequently referenced dreams in his poetry. In this poem, he describes a dream where the world has embraced equality and love. There’s no more racial inequality, everyone is free, and there’s peace.
