From the paper:

The American poet Langston Hughes is considered to be the most original and the most representative of African American writers. In his various poems including the famous one "let America be America again," he is said to have envisioned the dreams of the common folk etching them into the memory of the Americans, which included both black and white Americans. Langston Hughes in spite of his many misgivings that he suffered in life pursued the dreams of his life as a committed writer at many times while facing the harshness of poverty.
