Ineed to finish writing my poem.
don’t make us believe what you wish you could do
thinking you’re a man and leader but we know it ain’t true
you call me a nasty woman and telling me that women are worthless and are nothing but an icon to you
beat me hate me
you can never kill me
you can never break me
blackman blackmail, don’t you black or white me
tell me what has become of my rights? your proclamation promised me free liberty
throwing me in a class with a bad name
i can’t believe this is the land from which i came
hit me kick me
you can never get me
some things in life we just don’t want see but if martin luther was living he wouldn’t let this be
you can never trash me
don't you wrong or right me

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
