And finally, “The N*gro Speaks of Rivers” (youtu.be/kiCqOzabU6A?si=MC1K7Y) performed by the greatest coloratura contralto Marian Anderson. This 1941 composition is based on the poem “The N*gro Speaks of Rivers” by Margaret Bonds’ muse, co-conspirator and close friend Langston Hughes, who she met in the late 1930s after she graduated from college where she fell in love with his writing.

  2. "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, Dream Deferred (1951)

    This is getting challenging. What are we to do with the Suffering Child question? And on which form of suffering do I plant my flag of resistance? Dostoevsky and Langston Hughes both offer clues.

  11. Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby - Langston Hughes

    The rain more than kissed me that afternoon, this was taken shortly after the rain had passed, I was drenched.
