A 7 page piece that seeks to prove that Gwendolyn Brooks' 'We Real Cool, The Pool Players. Seven at the Golden Shovel,' and Langston Hughes' 'A Dream Deferred' are not mere observations about life on the streets, they are poems that speak of dashed dreams.

They were written not merely to point out desolation in the community, but to point out the necessity for self-empowerment. The poems spoke of the present, how it relates to the past and its relationship to the future. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
