Compare/Contrast Langston Hughes and Alice Walker

Remember

Remember The days of bondage — And remembering — Do not stand still. Go to the highest hill And look down upon the town Where you are yet a slave. Look down upon any town in Carolina Or any town in Maine, for that matter. Or Africa, your homeland — And you will see what I mean for you to see -

The white hand: The thieving hand. The white face: The lying face. The white power: The unscrupulous power

That makes of you The hungry wretched thing you are today.
