"Dreaming Black Boy" and "Epitaph" are two poems which address the issues of oppression and racism. ... The persona tries to use his education to try to escape the harsh reality of racism. He not only mentions what is going on around him now, but also the past and even how he would like things to be in the future.
two themes that could be identified in the poem dreaming black boy are;
dreams- this team is about the black boy who dreams and wishes that everything he wants could be ordinary as everyone.
racism- because he is a black boy and maybe the other classmates are not black they don't like him just because he is a black boy so this is called racism.
definition dreaming in the poem
