In this article it mainly correlates Whitman’s poetry about racism to present day politics and the world. The article gives examples such as depicting President Bill Clinton as being our “first” black president because he comes from a “single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas.” This article also emphasizes the use of “grass” in Whitman’s poetry. This article also addresses the similarity and differences between Ali and Whitman.

Walt Whitman-Song of Myself:
Whitman focused on certain themes: individualism, love, America, democracy, union, the soul, death, and nature. These themes can be found almost anywhere in his works. He immediately starts with individualism in the start of "Song of Myself:" "I CELEBRATE myself."

This is a link to a critism of Flannery O'Connor and the use of certain motifs. The symbolysm of Jesus in the short stories is relevant to the story of "A Good Man is Hard to Find". The critique is important to try and understand some of the points that are essential to the overall meaning of the story and message that is being portrayed.

In addition it is said he is a folk poet who found his material in the lives of the those around him and just transfered it to paper.

Walt Whitman
"Song of Myself"
"In the following essay, Mirsky discredits the popular notion of Whitman as a radical poet of democracy, personal freedom, and innovative verse, yet he concludes nevertheless that he is a great poet because he presents the image of man as "the builder and creator of constructive socialism."
In Langston poem “Theme for English B,” the main point of his poem is describing the subornation of blacks during the fight for civil rights. He is deeply affected by this treatment because he is striving to get his education and this creates a conflict, which he describes in his poetry. Langston poetry shows the cross between his writing and the jazz period. English theme b seems to have an rhyme and can be read as jazz in my perspective.
