It conveys how women's work is seen as menial tasks when in fact it was very difficult work. It shows how these women struggle to prove they are American and show their worth. https://padlet.com/NYHteachers/grjvu6z9eu6a56ga/wish/661199664 2020-07-23 17:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/NYHteachers/grjvu6z9eu6a56ga/wish/661199664 Poetry Connection: Mother to Son by Langston Hughes https://padlet.com/NYHteachers/grjvu6z9eu6a56ga/wish/661203543 2020-07-23 17:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/NYHteachers/grjvu6z9eu6a56ga/wish/661203543
