I can’t find any archival evidence that that the Langston Hughes poem circulating here today is authentic so here is a sourced Hughes poem, Beaumont to Detroit, 1943, published that year in the magazine Common Ground, in which he compares Hitler and Mussolini to American Jim Crow and the KKK

We can’t afford to forget, and we can’t allow elements to erase uncomfortable (to them) truths, either. Unpack the discomfort, break down the systemic injustices, and work towards fixing the multi-generational traumas we (as a white collective) have caused (even if singly, we didn’t do it).
