One of the major themes of this poem is Racism. Hughes describes his longing for an oppressed world where he can live freely. The dream of Hughes in this poem is a common dream of most of the people in the African American community. Dream is another theme of this poem. In this dream, he separates himself apart from the world he currently lives in, for peace and comfort, dreaming of a place free from oppression. He emphasises his comfort brought by the night, which also implies the sympathy brought by the black community.
