Langston Hughes

Here you will find the Poem Merry-Go-Round of poet Langston Hughes

Merry-Go-Round

Where is the Jim Crow section 
On this merry-go-round, 
Mister, cause I want to ride?
Down South where I come from 
White and colored 
Can't sit side by side. 
Down South on the train 
There's a Jim Crow car. 
On the bus we're put in the back?
But there ain't no back 
To a merry-go-round! 
Where's the horse 
For a kid that's black?
