The South
The South is a poem by Langston Hughes, an influential American poet and leader of the Harlem Renaissance, known for his powerful social commentary. Written in the early 20th century, the poem employs vivid imagery to reveal a darker perspective of the Southern United States, contrasting with the more romanticized depictions often found in traditional poetry. This work highlights Hughes's ability to address complex social issues through his art.
