Hughes' idea that racial identity is inevitably going to influence ideas, he believes that just by being American all men are brothers in a sort. Hughes respects people's different personalities and identities yet acknowledges that we all coexist together. Malcolm X payed more attention to the racial injustices people of color faced. I am sure they would agree with certain points of each other's such as people co existing, but Malcolm would for sure have a more drastic view on fixing racial inequality than Hughes. He may preach that a way to fix inequalities may be for some people of color to self educate as he saw huge successes with it, and Hughes may suggest that black people need to stay resilient and allow for social change more through integration

# data[].attributes.body
When I read Hughes' poem, I understood that his race is a part of his identity as it was to others and which it had a different meaning to him as it did to others and his point is that he is questioning whether black people can become as educated and free as white people are. Because he is given the opportunity to write about himself and reflect, he learns that he and people of other races are a part of each other in America and that they are not all that different from each other. The meaning of the poem is that because he is given an opportunity to write as white people are, he begins to really question whether black people are free or not and if black people have a chance to live the same life as white people do. In conclusion, the significance of the poem is that people of different colors may be able to co-exist and live together freely and have the same opportunities as long as black people stay strong and try their best.

Conversation between Hughes and Malcolm X

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes believes that although people may be of different races, they can all share common ideals through just being Americans. Hughes also believes that people from all backgrounds can learn things from each other, but does acknowledge the fact that white men are more free than he is. Malcolm X would agree that white people are more free than African Americans, however he would completely disagree that African Americans should acquire knowledge from white people. Malcolm X didn't appreciate white people, and was often noted as the more extreme leader of the civil rights movement. Malcolm X was not a supporter of coexisting with the white community, and would have preferred to separate entirely from white people in American society. I believe that Hughes' advice to Malcolm X would be to not hate the white man, but rather learn from him. When people in a society cooperate and learn about prejudice together they often can create better solutions than one group of people acting alone. Hughes' ability to recognize that human beings need to live alongside one another contrasts with that of Malcolm X's more extreme political views.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcolm X and Langston Hughes would definitely agree on the significance of Black pride and self-expression, although they might disagree in their approaches to how they achieve equality. Malcolm X, particularly in his early years, advocated for Black secession, whereas Hughes promoted integration and cooperation between both races. Malcolm would most likely urge Hughes to take a more extreme stance in his beliefs, while Hughes might advise Malcolm to concentrate more on unification. Both would recognize each other's dedication to Black empowerment and the struggle for change in America, in spite of their differences.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughs knew that white people were more privileged than he was. Still, he believed that people of all races should share common ideas and differences regardless of their race and be able to learn from one another because they are all American people. Malcolm X would agree that white people have a significant amount of privilege. On the other hand, he is more focused on the racial injustice and oppression that black people face. Malcolm wants justice and to restore equality. I don't believe Malcolm would want to learn anything from white people although Hughs would suggest him to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes believed that everyone shared common beliefs from just being American while Malcolm X believed that white people have more privilege and freedom than African American people. Hughes recognizes that we can all live together while Malcolm focuses more on the racial aspect of life. I think they both would agree that white people have more privilege than African American people while disagreeing that Hughes wants racial injustice while Malcolm X wants to fix inequality. I think Hughes would advise to not be so judgemental and learn from white people while Malcolm would advise Hughes to be more aware of his beliefs and to watch his back due to Malcolm's lack of respect and trust of white people.

# data[].attributes.body
From the begging they were different. Hughes went to school and was educated. For being the only black student at his school he seemed to live a more normal life. Malcom X started differently he never had those things and turned to be a criminal. Later in life is when he educated himself and found literature and religon. I believe that they had a lot of the same feelings about being black men and being treated the way they were but their reactions is what sets them apart. They believed that education and literacy can and will change lives and that both black people and white people should be treated equally. Hughes saw these things and wanted to embrace them, he wanted to make peoples differences bring them closer. Malcom wanted peoples differences to bring them farther apart.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes and Malcom X would both agree on their views of racial justice and empowerment. However, they might disagree on how racial justice should be achieved. Hughes focuses more on integration of African American people with white people and how they might coexist with one another, while Malcom X adopts a separatist approach, stating that African Americans and whites should be separated completely. Both agree that black people should have equal rights as white people, though Hughes thinks that working within the existing political system is optimal and Malcom X thinks that a complete separation of the two races is needed. Malcom X might urge Hughes to welcome radical change, while Hughes might advise Malcom X to fix what is broken.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe they could both agree on the racial injustice they both faced. Considering it would be in different ways. As Harlem seems to be a bit more open minded with less hatred standing in his way. He seems to understand that although he does have his own experience and journey. He is not all that different from his white professor. He finds that although they are different races he can still find the same things intriguing or be fond of stuff other "folks" of different races like. On the other hand Malcom X wants to equal the injustice him and his people have faced. Annoyed with the fact that because of this oppression he faced it took him so long to be "liberated". Introduced to this new world of writing and learning at a somewhat later age in life than a white person was. I think Hughes would enlighten Malcom X to become more open minded and not have so much hatred in his heart. On the other hand I do see where Malcom x is coming from and perhaps use his mindset to let Hughes in on where he himself is coming from.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Malcolm X and Hughes had mostly different Ideologies. Malcolm X pursued being more separated from the white man, while Hughes believed that colored and whites shall co-exist as Americans. I think that they both would agree that they like to "read, learn, and understand life". Malcolm X made his own education through books while Hughes is pursuing a liberal arts education. When Hughes says, "Sometimes perhaps you don't want to be a part of me. Nor do I often want to be a part of you. But we are, that's true!" I think that Malcolm X would agree with him upon that saying. I think they would disagree as much upon the fact that Hughes wants to co-exist with the white man. The advice they give to each other would be pretty adverse. Malcolm X would tell Hughes to have more pride in his race and to forge for black power, while Hughes would tell him that a more peaceful protest, such as the ideologies of MLK and Ghandi, would work even more for the African American community.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes is reflecting on the idea that we all exist within the same society and country. He mentions the idea of how because we are american, we should learn from each other regardless of the color of our skin. He talks about how everyone does the same things regardless of skin color. Malcolm seems fixed on the idea that he can learn alone without the help of anyone else while Hughes talks about how people should learn from each other. The Isolation which Malcom had to learn in sort of explains this point of view. They both seem to focus on the idea that it is important to learn. They both emphasize different ways to go about it.

# data[].attributes.body
If Hughes and Malcom X had a conversation, they would both agree on the injustice they have faced because of the color of their skin. They would agree in having a sense of pride for who they were. However, Hughes and Malcom X did have radically different perspectives. Hughes believed more in coexistence with the white community whereas Malcom X wanted to separate more. Hughes let that side become a part of him whereas Malcom didn't want any part of that. Malcom X would try to tell Hughes to separate himself and be more extreme with his beliefs. Hughes would tell Malcom X to embrace the joining of African Americans and whites.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes thought that colored people and whites were all Americans and they all shared common values and beliefs. He stated, "Being me, it will not be white.

But it will be a part of you, instructor. You are white— yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That’s American." Malcolm X talked more about colored people existing separately from whites and didn't talk about unity at all. Hughes does touch on racial injustice. Another difference they have is the way they were educated. Hughes went to a school to pursue getting an education while Malcolm X was completely self taught and he read stuff on his own. They would probably agree on the importance of being an educated person and reading.

# data[].attributes.body
I imagine that if Hughes and Malcolm x were to sit down and have a conversation, based solely off of these two excerpts that they would have disagreements over integration in society. Malcolm wanted white society to be separate from colored as it could never be equal, or safe after the wrongs they have committed. Hughes was well educated and enrolled in a majority white college where he was the only colored student in his class. He acknowledged this, yet still believed people are people and one in another. Malcolm X was self taught, and went through the justice system which gave him a different outlook in life. Malcolm would probably tell Hughes he does not need college, especially where it is so unjust; and Hughes would most likely tell Malcolm X to open his eyes and that we all bleed the same.

Conversation between Hughes and Malcolm X

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, both Malcolm and Hughes have very complex ideas on education. While Hughes prefers a more traditional approach to education, I believe Malcolm X would argue that knowledge comes from experiential and societal lessons. When Hughes states "As I learn from you,

I guess you learn from me—

although you’re older—and white—

and somewhat more free." it is clear that he believes knowledge is formed from the equality of others and the importance of racial inclusion. On the other hand, Malcolm X seems to be more rooted in the fact that knowledge has to be learned through experience, and his life in the prison was separate from an average white persons experience with learning. Because he gave himself an education, I think Malcolm X would disagree with the fact that Hughes is so accepting of equality-because of his opportunity, and he would agree in the sense that education and literacy are the key to interacting with the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Lets begin with what they agree on. Both men agree that education is a wonderful thing that everyone should have and strive for. What differentiates the two men is how they believe going about education should be done. Hughes believes that regardless of race, we are all Americans and we should learn from one another. Malcolm X on the other hand advocates for education in isolation. This is likely because that is how he learned in prison for all those years. If they were to give each other some advice, I imagine Malcolm would say something about advocating for yourself and Hughes would talk about being more open to different views.

# data[].attributes.body
the poem is moving because of the complex ideas of self identity in a society where race is such an important factor . the tone is subtle and very genuine so you can really connect and understand what he's portraying. To me, the title represents a grade of some sort or a baseline maybe. Malcom X wanted a place where color didn't divide you or determine the importance of you as a person. The line " I wonder if its that simple" stands out a lot because nothing is that simple. there's so many things that go into self identity besides race and appearance. The speaker is a 22 year old "colored" person who feels disconnected from his peers mainly because of the color of his skin. Obviously, the theme of this story is identity but it dives deeper into the idea that things that you simply cant control can change your " self identity. Therefore, you have to find your identity without considering the exterior characteristics.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe if Malcolm X and Hughes had a conversation they would agree on advocating for racial equality. They both brought up the struggles of African Americans. I think they would disagree on their approach to achieving racial justice. Hughes focused on cultural and artistic expression in a way of social change. Malcolm X advocated for more confrontational methods. The advice I think Hughes would have for Malcolm X is to unite people in a less assertive way. The advice I think Malcolm X would have for Hughes is to be more pushy for racial changes.

# data[].attributes.body
While both pieces of writing focused on race, both Hughes and Malcolm had different interpretations as well as their writing styles were different. Malcolm focused mainly on literacy and how his literacy journey led him to discover how truly "whitened" history was and the injustices that African people had faced at the hands of white people. Hughes' poem was more focused on the differences that he experienced as an African-American and how they contrasted to the white people around him.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcom X completely separated himself from the white man. He really separated himself from man as well. He found peace being alone and reading in his cell. He claimed he could do it for hours on end. Hughes although states that they are not on the best or terms (him and the white man) are both American and should be able to work together and be together. Instead of focusing and white and black he focuses on being American.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that if Malcolm X and Langston Hughes had a conversation, they would agree that there should be racial equality, but they would go at it in different ways. They both would agree that racial identity is very important for oneself. For Hughes, he explores how his experiences as a Black individual shape his writing. For Malcolm X, becoming literate helped him have a greater understanding of his racial identity and its historical context. They would disagree on how to work through racial inequality. Malcolm X believed in racial separation. He thought that African Americans should be completely separated from white society. Whereas Hughes wanted to be in a joined society. This is shown in the text when Hughs says, "Being me, it will not be white. But it will be

a part of you, instructor. You are white—

yet a part of me, as I am a part of you." If Malcolm X were to give Langston Hughes advice, he would tell him to write less about individual experiences and use his writing to more about african american society of the time. If Hughes was to give Malcolm X advise, he would tell him that separation is not the right way to be racially equal.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Malcom X and Hughes shared similar experiences of facing adversity in their lives as black men. On the other hand, Malcom X writes more critical on the struggles he has experienced in his life.

If they were to have a conversation, I think Malcom X would disagree with what Hughes has to say about national identity because of his past, but I think they would agree on the fact that they have both seen prejudice within their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Malcolm X and Hughes would have agreed on the fact that because of the color of their skin, they were not treated equally to others. But, in terms of dealing with that, they seemed to have different ways they wanted to go about it. Malcolm X seemed fixated on staying separate from the white man, and showing he could do everything they could just the same. While, Hughes seemed to just want to be treated equal with the white man. I think Malcolm X would have told Hughes to separate himself like he had, so he could show the white man they could be equal on their own. But, I think Hughes would have told Malcolm X that they should fight for being equal as a community, and not being separated.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcolm X and Hughes both had very different ideologies from each other. But the thing Malcolm X and Hughes have in common is that they were both treated differently because of their skin color. However, their ideologies about this were very different. Malcolm X believed that colored people should stay separate. Hughes believed that both colored people and whites were all Americans that and that they should be together and that they should be treated equally. He wanted more unity between races. Malcolm X and Hughes were also educated very differently. Malcolm X was self educated and learned from reading books by himself. While Hughes went to a school with white people in it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Malcolm X and Hughes have a very similar experience of facing discrimination. Although, Malcolm does not seem to want to face the issue publicly. Malcolm wants to separate himself from whites and keeps to himself by reading in his jail cell. Malcolm self-educates and is very individual. On the other hand Hughes is dealing with this issue in a school full of white people and wants to be treated equally. Malcolm writes about his personal experienced and seems to reflect on them mentally. When Hughes is reflecting on the issues he faces on a piece of paper for all to read. Malcolm wants to be separated from the white man while Hughes wants to exist with the white men. I think both approaches are a good way to be equal and Malcolm and Hughes would come together to share their experiences with each other in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Both men agreed that the black population was extremely discriminated. They saw all the injustices that they faced in the nation, and how whites set the system up to stay on top. But they would disagree on the solution to the problem. Malcom wanted to completely unconnected from the whites. Where Hughes wanted both races to find common ground and become unified and equal. They grew up in completely different environments so it makes sense that their views are slightly different.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that if Malcolm X and Hughes had a conversation they would probably agree that due to the color of their skin they have been discriminated against at times and have gone through rough experiences with society and just fighting stigmas that have been set for many years. I believe that Malcolm X would've advised Hughes to not be afraid of not fitting in. And just try to separate himself from the rest of man and just focus on bettering himself and continuing to work towards becoming the best version of himself. Overall I think that Hughes and Malcolm X would've come together and shared their experiences with one another and just provide support and guidance for each other when dealing with life as colored men.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading Hughes poem I felt as if he was saying that even though he acknowledges his race, and everyone around him acknowledges it too, doesn't mean they all aren't still apart of the same world and city. Which lead to the idea that maybe race is just over thought at the end of the day. Versus Malcolm X who was always fighting for the African American race and acknowledging the differences between White and African American people. Instead of focusing more on the similarities that might result in less judgement from both parties. So I feel like they would but-heads on the perspective of the proper relationship between both parties, but also agree on what is consider right and wrong morally. I'm not really sure on what advice they would give each other since they are both on such different sides of the conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Malcolm and Hughes would disagree when it comes to learning style. Malcolm was able to learn through the books in his prison's library as well as discussions with his fellow inmates, with the example given being "Should Babies Be Fed Milk?" On the other hand, Hughes is learning through his professor rather than through papers or discussions. One likely thing the two would agree on is the necessity for people to be well-educated and literate.

# data[].attributes.body
A conversation between Hughes and Malcolm X would be interesting because of their differing views on what the relationship between the Black and White communities should be. In his poem "Theme for English B," Hughes expresses that he is proud to be Black and does not wish to fit into the same box as a White person. However, he sees that regardless of color, humankind and more specifically, Americans of all races have similarities and can coexist in society as the "American race," so to speak. Malcolm X, on the other hand, was outspoken about separating the Black and White communities. As a follower of black separatism, Malcolm X did not see nationality as a uniting factor and did not want the two races to coexist. Instead, he wanted Black Americans to function without any influence or reliance on White Americans.

Even so, Hughes and Malcolm X could agree on a goal of empowering the Black community. They both experienced racial discrimination, understood the ugly history between Black and White people and, rightly so, used their platforms to speak out about it. However, Hughes and Malcolm X would likely have advice for each other that would slightly sway each other to the "opposing" side. Hughes may suggest that Malcolm X be more open to conversation and unity between Black and White Americans because they have a core piece, nationality, in common. On the other side, Malcolm X may encourage Hughes to be louder and more outspoken about the discrimination, hardships, and abuse that he, and other Black Americans, encountered because of White Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
The conversation between Hughes and Malcolm X will have many disagreements and conflicting ideas. Firstly, Malcolm X pushed for a far more radical separatism between races. While Hughes on the other hand believes that there's an interconnectedness between races. He writes, "you are white, yet a part of me". Malcolm X stated that, "We must be free of their influence, politically, socially and economically." Another large difference between the two writers is the aggressiveness of Malcolm X versus Hughes laid back writing style. Malcolm X says, "your writing is powerful. . . we need revolution" while Hughes claims that "poetry has a way of reaching the heart. It changes minds slowly, but surely." Both advocate for the equality of the black race but want to do it in different ways. With them having different approaches to the issue, Hughes would advise Malcolm X to recognize the strength of human connection and power of words. While Malcolm X would push Hughes to move to a more active stance and use his writing to catalyze systematic change.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Malcolm and Hughes have suffered racism and adversity in their lives, they just approach it a little differently. Malcolm mainly just talks about his lifes struggles nad how he got to where he is today.

Hughes goes on to talk about how no matter what race or ideology someone is, they are the same because they are Americans. Malcolm on the other hand separates himself from everybody to learn and gain intelligence. Malcolm used that knowlege of his to drive him to do the most impactful thing of his life through the civil rights movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Although Malcolm X and Hughes have somewhat differing ideals, I believe that if they were to have a conversation, they would be able to come to a mutual understanding and respect each other because of the similarities of what they've experienced. They both faced extreme prejudice by white people, but chose to react to it in different ways. Malcolm X chose to uninvolve himself with anything related to white people, instead choosing to follow his own path and take things on his own. Langston Hughes chose a different approach, wanting everyone to become more united. He recognized the differences between people, especially white and black, and advocated for equality.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcolm X and Hughes present quite contrasting ideologies, where Malcolm X is an active supporter of black separatism and Hughes encourages unity in the whole American society. Hughes’ claims were definitely more peaceful, stating that people, no matter of what color, should coexist, while Malcolm X was supporting a separatory existence of 2 races on the territory of one country. And considering the fact that both of them are black, I would surely expect Malcolm X to give Hughes genuine advice, expand and push the idea of the racial identity in historical context. And even though what Malcolm X would say would be true, I can’t see Hughes accepting his position that promotes separatism. His lines, - ‘’You are white—yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That’s American.’’, - say it all. I wouldn’t say that Hughes would try to persuade him into a more peaceful way of thinking and promote an idea of racial coexistence, but his manner and undertone would surely identify that.

# data[].attributes.body
While Malcom X and Hughes may have both been advocates for the social justice movement, they had vastly different ideas of what social justice meant. Malcom X did not think equality and togetherness, and more wanted to separate the white man due to the evil and atrocities he had read about from the white mans' past. On the other hand, Hughes was an advocate for equality and rather trying to integrate blacks into society as equal to whites. Malcom X would probably tell Hughes to continue to educate himself and to read as much as possible. Hughes would probably ask Malcom X to keep an open mind to racial integration because no matter our skin color or background, we all have at least one similarity to eachother

# data[].attributes.body
Although Hughes and Malcolm's pieces focused on race, they each had differing interpretations. "Theme For English B" focused on experiences Hughes faced as an African American and how he felt indifferent to a white dominated society. His poem raises the question as to what is one's true self, as he feels like a minority in the world around him. In "Learning To Read" by Malcolm X, he focuses on his literacy journey, which lead him to an intellectual awakening. He spent seven years in prison and during this time he educated himself upon reading and writing. Malcolm X uses rhetorical analysis to argue how African Americans continued to struggle in gaining education due to racism. If Hughes and Malcolm were put in a room together, I believe they would hold the same values and beliefs, they would just handle their execution differently.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcolm X and Hughes, in my opinion, would be understanding of one another as they are both aware and have personally suffered discrimination and injustice due to the color of their skin. Having stated that, people might debate their positions on the matter. Malcolm X cut off contact with white people and found solace in living alone. He kept his anger to himself and instead spent his time learning how to assist the black guy through reading and research. He was aware that he could accomplish everything he set his mind to. Hughes, though, desired to take up the cause of change. His goal was to get meet with the white man and get to know or comprehend each other.

# data[].attributes.body
A conversation between Hughes and Malcolm X would likely not be a very amicable one. Although they can likely understand one another in that they have experienced prejudice due to the color of their skin, their opinions distinctly conflict one another on the topic of race and separation between races. Hughes writes "You are white- yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That’s American." Hughes promoted equality between the two races, a society where they are connected and coexist peacefully as equals. On the other hand, Malcolm X was an advocate for separating the two races. He found himself mentally alive through reading and somewhat isolating himself, leading him to wish to isolate the races from one another as a way to help the black man. I believe that they would agree that prejudice against people based on their skin color is wrong, but would disagree on the best way to combat this issue. I think that Malcolm X's advice to Hughes would generally be to read and expand his knowledge, while Hughes' advice to Malcolm X would be to change his perspective and attempt to convince him that unity is the best solution to the prejudice.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a main difference between Malcolm X and Hughes is that Malcolm was getting his education while he was imprisoned and he was likely surrounded by other men of color, while Hughes conducted a formal education in a college with an overwhelming white majority. This would be a contributing factor in Malcolm X and Hughes' conversation because I think they would discuss the differences in where they got their education and how it affected their literacy and later their ability to think critically about reading and their openness to new ideas. I think Malcolm X would advise Hughes to read books from a variety of perspectives, because I can assume that the education Hughes received was primarily eurocentric and the materials were all produced by white people. From the way Malcolm X described the prison library, it sounds like there were plenty of diverse reading materials reflecting a variety of perspectives available to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Hughes and Malcolm X definitely had differing views on the role of the white man in a society. Malcolm X made it clear that he believed the separation between the white and colored man was obvious and that they existed on two different societal levels. Hughes however explained through his writing that he believed the white and colored man could coexist peacefully in society as they were equally American. I think they would agree on the importance of literature and how it can be used to explain and understand the importance of bigger picture ideas like the roles of different races in society. However, like I mentioned above, I think they would disagree on how they view the specific role of the white man and how differing race should be handled as a whole. I think they would advise each other to understand the other perspectives. For example, Malcolm X would suggest Hughes to become educated on the history of slavery and how evil it had been in the past. On the other hand, Hughes would tell Malcolm X to focus more on the present and the future, and how society could be changed with peace among races.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcolm X and Hughes would probably have a few conflicts. Malcolm X tried to point out that he was different from white people while Hughes just tried to point out what privileges white people have and how they have true freedom. Although Hughes points some blame/hate towards white people he still focuses on how they can work together and become united. Hughes might try to suggest having white people against discrimination join the cause to show they can work together. While Malcolm X would disagree because he believes they need there isn't a way to harmonize into one society truly. He would rather want to point out what the white people have done to limit black people's rights.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that both Hughes and Malcom X would agree the they have experienced prejudice and oppression in their lives, and that it is not just. However, I believe that they would disagree on what their views of being connected with white people are. Malcom X believed that black people should sever all ties with white people. While Hughes talks about that we are all equal in our own ways. Such as interests and habits, we can all find common ground.

The main disagreement between Hughes and Malcolm X would lie in their approaches to racial issues. Hughes values diversity citing it as "American" whereas Malcolm X wanted to cut ties with the white community. However, both would agree that sometimes those two communities do not get along and have issues. The differing approach to racial issues would manifest itself in how dramatically different the advice they would give each other would be. Malcolm X would urge Hughes to use his knowledge to better the black community while cutting ties with the white community, while Hughes would suggest that Malcolm X works with the white community in order to learn from one another.

I feel Malcolm and Hughes share some similar as well as dissimilar ideologies. Both of them recognized the oppression faced by their community. They are similar in this fashion. They are dissimilar by their "cope-up" mechanisms: Hughes prefers to co-exist with other races, including the White community. Whereas Malcolm bitterly displays his resentment towards the oppressors, being more sympathetic to the current condition of the Black community.

In a conversation, Malcolm would eventually understand Hughes's ideology of humanity transcending societal barriers such as races. And Hughes too would understand Malcolm's ideology due to the oppression Malcolm had felt by the means of a book. And hence if this were a debate, it would end in a stalemate.

Malcolm X and Langston Hughes Conversation 

# data[].attributes.body
If Malcolm X and Langston Hughes were to have a conversation I believe that they would agree on the same things but their approaches would be different. They both have suffered because white people throughout both of their lives. They would have the same feelings about the way African Americans were treated but they would disagree on the way to fix that problem. Malcolm X did not trust white people. Malcolm X embraced the idea of black separatism. While Hughes believed that black and white people should learn to work together and that they are both Americans. So if these two were to debate I believe it would be a very intellectual conversation and I believe that they will have a mutual respect and understanding of each others opinions but they would not be able to change each others minds.

I believe that Malcom X and Hughes would have a normal relationship, respect and hatred all in one. I think they would each give each other the time to explain their views and have respect for what they believe. We obviously saw that Malcom kept the words of Muhammad very close to him a used them in his daily life. While Hughes took the world around him and created it into something he can relate to and that people would understand. Even though they both had a different point of view, they both still had an understanding of disrespect towards them.

Hughes and Malcolm would understand each other's struggles with being a black man and the discrimination that came with it at the time. I think a big thing for them is how they each approach the topic of being different and the prejudice people have against them. Hughes understands that he gets treated differently because of his race but he sees past that in his poem and explains that yes him and his professor may be different but they're both still American and are a part of one another in some ways whether they like it or not. Malcolm in my opinion has a very different way of looking at things, he is a isolated soul you can say, moreover he wants to separate himself from everyone especially the white man, like he would do so in jail when he read about the atrocities white men did to his ancestors making him want to also separate the races as a society. Advice they might have for each other is Hughes telling Malcolm to be less reserved of his way of thinking 24/7 and to be more open to seeing past color and try to co-exist in a new society. At the end of the day I think they would learn from each other and compromise how they should approach society.

To begin with something that i think that they would agree on, it seems that is important for both of them to express thoughts and emotions through writing. Now what they write about seems to be where a disagreement forms. It appears that Malcom X believed that the black population could live independently together with the white population. On the other hand it seems that Hughes believed that the black population could coexist and unite with the white population. On another note They might disagree on learning styles. Malcom X might advocate for a self taught type of learning while Hughes would advocate for a someone show and teach me type of learning style.

Hughes and Malcolm X are two sides of the same coin. They both agree on what it means to write, learn, and understand. Their need to understand what they do does not connect them, however how they acquired their love for learning and understanding i think differentiates the two. While Hughes was able to get a formal education with a teacher \ Malcolm X had to teach himself. Due to this they learned different things. I realized and came to a conclusion on topics with different points of view. Hughes does not see the difference between white people and black people while Malcolm through his self taught education draws a thick line between the 2 people. Both realizing that they are different. Where they differ is how they perceive that difference in people. Creating conclusions on how they feel about any given person of opposite race before meeting them. 2 stark contrasts in views between the 2 of them. I think Hughes' advice to Malcolm would be to open his eyes to the similarities between colored people and white people. I think he would tell him to not look at it with one eye closed and try to understand them as people and not as a race as a whole. While Malcolm would tell him the complete opposite, to look into the vast difference between the culture and ideals of each people and how suppressive those ideals can be to colored people.

I think Malcolm X and Hughes would both agree on the importance of education and racial identity. They both highlighted the significance of learning from oneself and others. They also focused on how racial identity changes life as they know it through oppression and experience. I think their approach is where they would disagree and give each other advice. Malcolm X was much more forward than Hughes. Malcolm X spoke out strongly against racial oppression and how to fight against it. Hughes acknowledged the oppression but also tried to find common ground between races. One would likely tell the other to be more confrontational or have a lighter approach. At the same time, I believe they would both have an appreciation for what the other is doing.

# data[].attributes.body
They both probably would agree on how their race and their racial identity shaped their lives. I feel like they would disagree on how to go about their freedoms. Hughes thinks that everyone should be interconnected while Malcolm X believes that black americans should distance themselves from white americans. Some advice that Hughes might have for Malcolm X would be even with racial tension there can be mutual understanding and mutual ground. Malcolm X might tell Hughes to be more wary of a white dominated society and to take a more critical stance on race.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Malcolm X and Hughes would understand each other as they both agree with their views with racial injustices of black Americans.Even though Hughes believe the although they may be different in races they can all share common ideals. Also, Malcolm had a different writing style as well as the form of interpreting their pieces o writing. Malcolm focuses more on literacy and how his journey on him to discovering it led him to the history of injustice to black/african American people. While Hughes focuses on the differences that he experiences as an African American and how they contrasted him.

Hughes and Malcom would converse about their struggles as black men and education. They would agree with each other that learning is difficult and that being black wouldn't make it any easier. I think they would disagree about both being American as Malcom would claim he is from where his ancestors were born and Hughes would claim that regardless of where they were born he was born in America and is an American. Malcom X would then push harder, saying that he thinks colored folk should be separated from white folk as having them together isn't good in hindsight. Hughes would be patient and tell Malcolm that he understands the anger and frustration he may feel towards Americans and the white man in general whereas Malcolm would explain how dangerous they are and how he should be taking care of himself. Hughes would then respond with something along the lines of, color doesn't dictate what people like, it doesn't dictate how people feel. We are all human and you should try and learn about what that means.

If Malcolm X and Hughes had a conversation they would mostly agree on the fact that they both had the same goal of gaining equal rights and and justice for the black community. The part where they would disagree is how the black community would be able to thrive while facing discrimination, racism, and suppression. Malcolm X believed that the black community would thrive of staying separated due to the fact that they were denied which makes room for providing self improvement and allowing advancement within the community. Meanwhile Hughes believed that communism would help the black community. Hughes believed that since he is American both him and the white man should be able to thrive. Malcolm X is more focused on making his community better through a racial view while Hughes is focused on making his community better through a nationality point of view.

If Malcolm X and Hughes had a conversation, I feel that they would have more disagreements than agreements. Their main agreement was that literacy is vital and necessary to having a fulfilling and impactful life. Their disagreement was how they should learn to improve their literacy and who they should learn it from. Malcolm X believed that literacy was acquired through self teaching and observing intellectual events, like debates. He also didn't trust white people and said the white man's hand " Are the World's most monstrous crime". Hughes on the other hand, believed in a more formal type of education, like school. He also disagreed with the white men, but believed that they could learn from each other. The advice Malcolm X and Hughes would have for each other is that there are different forms of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I these two men were to sit down and have a conversation there would be disagreement and agreements. I would say one thing they would both agree on is education. Malcolm X was self educated in prison and Hughes was attending an all white college. I think their disagreement would be racial integration, as Malcom X perspective is color should be separated from whites because it is not equal. As of Hughes he acknowledged that he is still colored but can still be in these places like a college or society with a different race. I think one thing that Malcolm X lacks is outside world experience, he was in prison when he was self taught and i think if he could see society now he would be able to see Hughes perspective that humans are human no mature the color of your skin.

Both Malcolm X and Hughs have similar views on discrimination, and how that had shaped their society. However, I think they could learn a lot from each other. While Malcolm X found peace in solidarity, Hughs expressed that he had the same interests as any other man, he was just viewed differently because of his skin color. The way that both of them got their education was drastically different, which can have an effect on their point of views. While Malcolm X was imprisoned and learned amongst other people of color, Hughs was educated among people of the opposite race. For Hughs, seeing how they lived their lives compared to his gave him the inspiration for his poem.

The conversation between Malcom X and Hughes would primarily focus on their shared points of view and concerns. While they both agree on the importance of racial issues and discrimination, Malcom x advocates for self-sufficiency and independence, trying to separate from the white society, which he refuses to approach. In contrast, integration is key for Hughes, he is open to learning from the other race despite cultural differnece. Regardless of their many differences, both of their intentions aim for the empowerment of black society.

# data[].attributes.body
When Hughes and Malcolm X had a conversation, they had different beliefs. Hughes believes every color including whites should be co-colored as Americans. As for Malcolm X, he believed colored people should be separated from white people, and never be equal. They have their disagreement over human color society. But once they sat down to discuss the matter, they talked about their experience of what they had gone through, but they tell each other they would agree there should be racial equality.

# data[].attributes.body
As I read through Mr. Hughes' poem, it became very clear that his race is very important to him, however, he is still trying to figure out exactly how. He doesn't feel belittled for being black, and doesn't understand why other people find it hard to accept. He knows what makes him happy and fulfilled, and all of them are things that any person from any other racial or socio-economic background could also like. Furthermore, he uses the basic commonality of being American to erase the lines drawn between white and black. This reinforces his commonality with many people, regardless of race.

# data[].attributes.body
Malcolm X talked about whites and colored being more segregated whereas Hughes talked about whites and colored living in unison and that we're the same. They also had very different education paths, Hughes had the privilege to go to school to get an education where Malcolm was self-educated and taught himself everything he knew. I think that if they were to have a conversation, Malcolm would tell Hughes to educate himself more on his own people and their history.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes and Malcom X would have definitely shared the same opinions. Hughes opinions on reading might change the way Malcom feels about him racially with the ideas about reading but given the fact that they are both about reading and finding your sense but both in some very different. It seems that Malcom X was pushing the ideas on the black community should be independent and doesn't need help from the white community because he advocates for himself but keeps watch that literacy is a huge change and even those who don't agree would agree goals in reading.

# data[].attributes.body
Hughes and Malcolm would relate to each other on some level because of the prejudices they each faced due to their race. Their ideologies became so different though that they had very different approaches to help their people. Hughes was pro integration and believed that we should all be united as americans, while Malcolm saw the only way forward with succession. I think Hughes would push Malcolm to be more pacifistic, while Malcolm would tell him to be more severe with his beliefs. Even though their movements are on opposite sides of the spectrum, their ultimate goal was better the lives of black people and stop the inequalities they had both been through.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Malcom and Hughes could relate to each others experiences due to the racism and inequality they both faced. But their ideas were both different on how they could resolve the issue and this caused some sort of disagreement on things. Hughes believed all people white and colored were just simply Americans and that nothing should arise of that. On the other hand Malcom believed white and colored people were seperate. This caused him to believe there should be no sort of unity between the two. Malcom was self taught while Hughes went to school an pursued an education. One thing they could both agree on is probably the fact that you would need some sort of knowledge or education to discuss this issue. Because overall you cannot do something or speak of an issue if you have no background in that area.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Hughes and Malcolm X would understand each other in a sense because they both know what it's like to be a Black American. Although Malcolm X would disagree with how Hughes accepts being the minority in a white man's world. Hughes is okay with learning from a white individual, while Malcolm X understands how literature written by white people is very much biased. Basically, they both could agree on certain subjects, but disagree too. Malcolm X fought for change, while Hughes tries to understand whites and tries to fit in. Since both of them come from two different backgrounds of life they automatically will see life differently from one another.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Malcom X and Hughes would agree that education is very important and vital to everyday life. They both learned in different ways but they have similar views and opinions. Malcom X was self taught and learned isolated and alone and all of his opinions were formed from what he read and his own thoughts whereas Hughes learned in a classroom setting. They both had very similar experiences of facing discrimination and went about their lives in different ways. I think that advice they would have for each other or agree on would be to be open-minded and inclusive to all people regardless of differences they may have with others.

# data[].attributes.body
As black men, Malcolm X and Hughes have a similar background with racial injustice. I think it would be easy for them to agree on what is wrong with our society. However, they have differing opinions on how to navigate through adversity. If they were to have a conversation I am sure Malcolm X would advise Hughes to embrace the color of his skin and be proud of his culture. Hughes would try to teach him to coexist in a world with white people. Overall, I believe they would get along well.

# data[].attributes.body
These two writers would go back and forth and a couple topics, but would be understanding of each other and the trials they have experienced as men of color. Hughes was a man of action and was willing to put himself in the middle of the fire if it meant change. But Malcolm X completely separated himself from the world and dove into literature. At the end of the day Hughes was willing to work with the white man when X was not at all.

# data[].attributes.body
If both, Malcom X and Hughes were to have a conversation together, one thing they would agree on would be how they both weren't treated as fairly compared to the whites, but even then they would both disagree on how racial inequality can be solved. They both have completely different perspectives therefore they wouldn't agree on how to find peace within races. I believe Hughes would suggest to Malcom to let whites become close to him because at the end of the day we all need each other to be united.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Malcom X and Hughes would have a very interesting conversation. They would agree about a lot of things. But they would think of different ways to solve the issues around them. They both talk about the same problems in the world during their time, but they had different views on the way to solve that problem. But I think that they'd work together despite the different solutions from them both. They would try to educate the people around them about how the people of color feel about the way that they are treated by everyone around them.

In the text, Malcom strived to enlighten his listeners about the importance of the political education, the consequences, and the maturity of African American would not only be casting there vote for, but also gain the awareness of the power of their vote in influencing election results.

I think Malcolm X and Langston Hughes would probably understand each other well because both faced prejudice and inequality because of their race. However, they had different ways of dealing with these issues. Malcolm X chose to distance himself from white people, finding peace in being self-reliant and focusing on educating himself to help Black people. He held onto a lot of anger but channeled it into personal and community growth. On the other hand, Hughes wanted to bring people together and promote change through communication and mutual understanding. He used his writing to connect with those who saw him as different, aiming to build empathy and understanding.
