It is interesting that in 1926, Langston Hughes thought to write this about "their own soul world," in those days it can only be imagined what it was like. Today, with the Holy Spirit to guide humans, let us pray that color is not delineated, as it was before. However, let us pray that if is more like our Heavenly Father sees us. It is interesting that Hughes writes in the end "the eternal tom-tom beating in the Negro soul," "it is the "duty" of the younger Negro artist," then he says, "An artist must be free to choose what he does,certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose." This is a contradiction of statements. First a duty then freedom. We are all human no matter the pigment of our skin. After all, we are all made the same.
