Which statement identifies the central idea of the text? Langston Hughes hidden influence on MLK

A

Despite not explicitly discussing Hughes or his poetry, King quietly conveyed Hughes' words and ideas in several of his speeches.

Explanation:

Hudges and Dr. King where friends who wrote to each other and even travelled together. Dr. King even recited Hudges "Mother to Son" poem to his wife during the mothers day.

Dr. King never talked about Hudges publicly nor invoke the poet words overtly because Hudges was considered as a communist sympathizer and Dr. king had to distance himself and his organization from such people so as to have the support os Kennedy and Johnson administration. Nonetheless Dr. King still had more than 7 traces of Hudges poems in his speech and sermons.

Hudges wrote many poems criticizing capitalism calling for a revolution.
