The poem, The Negro Speaks of Rivers, by Langston Hughes, connects African-American history to the rivers of their heritage. The rivers of the Euphrates, Congo, and the Nile as their Middle Eastern and African heritage. Then the Mississippi River as their American heritage. It also shows their journey from freedom to slavery and back to freedom.

Some did, so you have that idea wrong. It is just that American history books doesn't cover Native American history entirely and only gives the student bits and pieces. This reflects some the of European view of history and delegates Native Americans into second class citizens. A good example of this is the story of the Jamestown colony. When the settlers arrived in the New World there was more than 14,000 Native Americans in an empire called Tsenacomoco. The chief of the empire was Powhatan and it covered 8,000 square miles. His sphere of influence stretched from the Potomac to Cape Henry ( find a map to see this empire). This is just one example of Native American history that has been ignored or changed. There are several books you can read that will give you a better feel for this history. Get Black Elk Speaks,Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, and learn about how Red Cloud governed his people. There is also a bit of history that is never mentioned and that is the largest mass hanging in US history in 1861 at Ft. Laramie and it had to do with what happened to the Dakota Sioux.

Langston Hughes uses repetition, imagery, and symbolism in "The Negro Speaks of Rivers." The repetition of the word "rivers" emphasizes the deep connection between African Americans and the history of civilization. Imagery, such as the "muddy bosom" of the Euphrates, creates vivid pictures that evoke a sense of timelessness and strength. Symbolism, like the rivers representing the collective history of the African diaspora, adds layers of meaning to the poem.
