This is the link to a song that I think Langston Hughes would love.  The song is "Waving Flag" by Knaan.  It was the world cup theme song, and has a powerful message when you listen to the lyrics.

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh

This sounds like a poem by Langston Hughes himself.  The song sounds like a modern day interpretaion of The Dream Keeper and other poems.  Both talk about a struggle for freedom and how people need to enjoy life.  The song speaks for itself and to understand the corralation you need to read the book as well.
