Abstract
This article delves into the enduring legacy of Langston Hughes, one of the most
influential figures in American literary history. Focusing primarily on his poetic works,

American Dream. By delving into the socio-political context of his time and the impact
of the Harlem Renaissance, the article highlights Hughes's unique ability to capture the
essence of the African American experience through his evocative verse. Through a
close reading and select poems, including "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and "Harlem,"

justice. Furthermore, it explores how Hughes's poetry continues to resonate with
readers today, inspiring new generations to confront issues of inequality and pursue
dreams of equality and freedom.
