Langston Hughes's The Ways of White Folks

This was another book I read for class up here. An excerpt taken from the paper I wrote pretty much sums up my thoughts about the book. "Langston Hughes uses his gift for story-telling to call attention to the injustices that he and other blacks suffered at the hands of whites during the Jim Crow era. The mere fact that Hughes, who is black and thus is supposed to be an inferior writer, is capable of writing such riveting and motivating stories helps disprove the myth that blacks are somehow less talented due to some inherent flaw stemming from their color. His book and others like it went a long way in showcasing the intellectual ability held by blacks, and in so doing, it helped in the eventual demise of the Jim Crow."
