I think Langston Hughes was the best at showing the history and pride of African-Americans with his poem The Negro Speaks of Rivers. He used simple and accessible language to make the poem appeal to more of the population, while Countee Cullen used sophisticated language in his poem Yet Do I Marvel. This makes it harder to read and understand for a lot of the general population, so Hughes did a better job of showing to a wider array of people how important African-Americans are to our history and how much they have done throughout time.
