Langston Hughes wrote Still Here
The poem is about African Americans
They suffered because of White people
They were treated badly
They had no proper home
They faced beatings and cruelty
They were not allowed to be happy
They were told not to enjoy life
But they did not give up
They still have hope and pride
Langston Hughes is the author of the poem ‘Still Here’
This poem is about African Americans living in the United States.
The poet says that Black people have suffered and been hurt by White people.
They were treated badly and made to feel hopeless.
They had no proper home — they lived in the cold and in the hot sun.
White Americans were often cruel, hitting and beating them.
They wanted Black people to live without hope or happiness.
They told them not to laugh, not to love, and not even to live freely.
But the poet, Langston Hughes, says that they will not give up.
Black people still have hope and live with pride and self-respect.
