I love the way Bontemps depicts the slavery movement and put in clear images the conditions the slaves were made to go through. His imagery about the living conditions of blacks in wooden buildings yet having the happiness of living is great. I think he merged the elements chronologically and in comprehensive details. I love this poem.

I am a very big Arna fan and i have to agree with the comment left by dr. benton. It took me a while to understand what bontemps was trying to say in Golgotha is a mountain. after a few times reading it i got the main point of his poem. when he uses mountains he is referring to the hardships of the african americans. the mountains represent the deaths of them!
