This is a blog about a poem that Langston Hughes created. Hughes writes about several social and political issues. His poems are based on segregation and the Jim Crow
law.Hughes was born 2/1/1902 and Died when he was 65 on 5/12/1967.

Hughes had made a poem named Marry go Round. Marry go Round is poem that explains the differences between a bus , a train , and a Marry go round . A kid talks to the conductor of the Marry go Round about how there is no separation between the two races. Both black and white can ride on the ride together. The is a nice poem and will make a motive for the all the races to get along . Heres the poem:

Where is the Jim Crow section

On this merry-go-round,
Mister, cause I want to ride?
Down South where I come from
White and colored
Can't sit side by side.
Down South on the train
There's a Jim Crow car.
On the bus we're put in the back--
But there ain't no back
To a merry-go-round!
Where's the horse
For a kid that's black?
