The negro speaks of rivers is a poem that touches on the various origins of
civilisation.The poet expresses his knowledge concernig civlisation in
various localities; America,Egypt.He exposes Abraham Lincoln as a key
personality who abolished slavery in America, contributing immensely to her
Civil growth.

great poem about the black experience.
he's refering Euphrates(Adam and Eve) as if blacks have been here since the
civilization.
Nile and the pyramids---some believe the pyramids were built by black
slaves and some say it was the jewish slaves. Abe Lincoln and New Orleans
refers to Lincoln's first witness of slavery and his determination to stop
it.

I write poetry, And this is one of my favorite poems ever written, The
first poem I learned to remeber when I had a drama class in the 5th grade.
We had A teacher named Ms. Williams And the main class was The assignment
to write poetry and learn to remeber it no student could never remeber any
of the poetry she gave us to read and that was the first poem I read and I
loved It, I always did love to read and write poetry and Langston Hughes
Inspired me and he was one of the greatest and I feel that he needs to be
a-knowledge better.I'm 24 years old and I love poerty and I will never ever
forget this poem or Langston Hughes.

I really enjoy poems by Langston Hughes this poem to me is the greatest of
all his writings. It shows the depth and continuous cultur of African
Americans. Just like the rivers the spirits and culture will continue on.
