Zayden Galvan · Answer 1

"Harlem" by Langston Hughes. Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem," sometimes called "A Dream Deferred," explores the consequences of allowing a dream to go unfulfilled. The title of the poem, "Harlem," implies that the dream is one that has been kept from the people. The dream is one of social equality and civil rights.

Langston Hughes doesn't specify a specific dream. He instead suggests that alAfrican Americans can't dream or become a great person in life because of the segregation and oppression that surrounds their life at the time the poem was written in the early 1950s.
