Dream Boogie (EAH)

In ``Dream Boogie ' Hughes writes about the frustrated African-American dream of self-creation and self-expression. These dreams are differed or not allowed to take place. The dreams cannot take place because during this time period American people shunned and wouldn't accept the African American way of life. The dream is never lost and remains inside the individual constantly looking for a way out. keeping Ideas and emotions inside you can never be good. In my opinion all these emotions that African Americans may have had built up came out in anger or in a form of art such as poems, the blues, or a new form of dance. The Harlem Renaissance shows an outlet that the African American culture found. Today we may not notice this outlet as much because we are more accepting of their culture, but rap and hip hop can be said to be the modern form of music they use for outlet.
