Then:
A Better Day
The word Then, is used to describe a better day.
Langston
Hughes is saying that in a better day (then), black people will be
treated just like white people and black people will not be discriminated
against for having a different color skin then white people. He
is saying that then, he will be able to participate in all events as white
people and will have the same chance for an equal education. That then,
there will be no seperation of the rights for black people and for white.
