Dream Deferred

This piece is a collaboration among several Graphic Design students from several different classes working under the guidance of Ms. Amara Chekwa. It is a narrated, animated and digitally manipulated collage. It is also a pictorial illustration of the 1951 Harlem (Dream Deferred) by Langston Hughes.

Though the poem was written in 1951, it is very relevant today amidst the current climate of social and economic injustice and unrest.

Harlem (Dream Deferred)

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
