    The poem encourages the reader to remember their past bondage and oppression. It tells them to go to the highest hill and look down upon the town where they were once a slave and see the white power that has made them hungry and wretched. The white hand steals, the white face lies, and the white power rules unscrupulously over them.

    Remember BY LANGSTON HUGHES 19021967 Langston Hughes Remember The days of bondage And remembering Do not stand still.

    Go to the highest hill And look down upon the town Where you are yet a slave. Look down upon any town in Carolina Or any town in Maine, for that matter, Or Africa, your homeland And you will see what I mean for you to see The white hand: The thieving hand. The white face: The lying face. The white power: The unscrupulous power That makes of you The hungry wretched thing you are today.
