Langston Hughes explores the effects of the cultural, moral and legal boundaries set upon African Americans through his two poems "I Dream a World" and "Democracy" .

Explanation:

The two poems of Langston Hughes talks of the speakers wish to see a world where there is no discrimination based on one's race or skin color. Rather, democracy should be the guiding factor of our lives. But then in "Democracy", he again said that this dream of his will be a far off dream, with democracy "not coming today, this year, nor ever through compromise and fear". Through these two poems, he explores the world of the blacks, the cultural, moral and legal boundaries that bind them and their wish to be free of these restrictions and binds.

each morning i wrote my name

on the dusty cabinet, then crossed

the dining table in script, scrawled

in capitals on the backs of chairs,

practicing signatures like scales

while mother followed squirting

linseed from a burping can
