In the poem Parade, Hughes writes about how there is a parade going to happen involving black people. How white people will just, “speed it out of sight if they can,” (Hughes 90) which means, that white people will just try to forget about it or not pay attention to it at all.

But the truth is that there is no “Liberty and Justice…For All.” (Hughes 91) That black people are not free, they are trapped in a white world, that only white people can be president, that white people are the only ones getting liberty and justice.
