“The Lynching”by Claude McKay
His spirit is smoke ascended to high heaven. His father, by the cruelest way of pain,
Had bidden him to his bosom once again; The awful sin remained still unforgiven.
All night a bright and solitary star (Perchance the one that ever guided him,
Yet gave him up at last to Fate's wild whim) Hugh pitifully o'er the swinging char.
Day dawned, and soon the mixed crowds came to view The ghastly body swaying in the sun:
The women thronged to look, but never a one Showed sorrow in her eyes of steely blue; And little lads, lynchers that were to be,
Danced round the dreadful thing in fiendish glee.

“A Negro Speaks of Rivers”By Langston Hughes
I've known rivers:I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human
blood in human veins.My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New
Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset.I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
