According to a different source, this question refers to the essay "How It Feels to be Colored Me" by Zora Neale Hurston and the poem "Freedom's Plow" by Langston Hughes.

In both of these texts, the authors focus on the challenges and difficulties that black people in the United States face. Both authors argue that African Americans do not enjoy the same liberties and opportunities as white people. Their style is one that highlights the talents and contributions that black people have, but that also calls attention to the unique characteristics that they share as a community.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
