Oddly enough, if you tell the typical english class to interpret the poem
WITHOUT knowing that it was written by Dunbar, they will see it as a poem
about conformity and false persona. If you tell them the background of the
author, they will see it as a poem about race relations... kinda funny
really.

We Wear the Mask is my favorite poem. It depicts how African Americans
have adapted to the harsh world of racism. While volunteering at a local
shelter,the poem depicted the Katrina Evacuees.

I first read this poems as a high school student in the South. I found
this poem in my efforts to understand the slave issues we were studying and
to learn and to understand what contribution blacks had made to the
building of America. The poem was a key link into understanding just that.
You see blacks were absent from the history books of my generation. They
were only discussed as slaves. To this day I have a great appreciation for
this poetic.

I was ready a book of gathered poems this morning. I saw this one, and it
is exactly me, put into words that could not flow from my own in such
preciseness to accomplish the goal. I love it greatly. It can be anyone at
anytime. We all wear masks in a great masquerade.
