"A Cuban Perspective: The America of Langston Hughes."
The Langston Hughes Review (spring 1987): 1-3. by
Nancy Morejon and Victor Carrabino, translator.

In its newest anti-Cuban "fact sheet", the US State Dept
uses a quote from Langston he famous poem called
A DREAM DEFERRED to frame its justification for keeping
the blockade. The entire purpose of the blockade it to
insulate the world from Cuba's positive influences and,
at the same time, to squeeze the island so hard that the
people of Cuba will rise up against the Revolution. That
won't happen, though pressures are very high. But the
use by Washington, or more accurately the mis-use, or
dis-use of Langston Hughes, a SUPPORTER of the Cuban
Revolution, and one of those who along with Malcolm X
actually met with Fidel at the Hotel Theresa in 1961
is amazing, even for the jaundiced reader.

These shameless and utterly unscrupulous people, who
stole the US elections in 2000, give words such as
"plagiarism" and "chutzpah" a bad name.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

A DREAM DEFERRED
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
