Question

Which group does Hughes acknowledge that Whitman does not?

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Immigrants

Both of them offer the American democratic ideals but there are certain areas where Hughes focuses and which he experienced being a black American. He acknowledges the immigrant group and battles for the rights of his fellow countrymen. Whitman was a leader to Hughes, and thus, he strongly believed and propagated his ideals by adding a dimension of acknowledging and battling for the rights of every American which Whitman probably missed out.
