This poem is very emotional
Literally has me in tears.😢😢😢 Viola Davis really put heart and soul in the reciting of Langston's famous poem. 😢😢😢😢
It's a horrible poem stfu with ur emotional bullshit
Dammit Viola! Even in audio you're amazing!
I'm so glad about learning about my history this really inspires me to chase my dreams
True
Bro im just here for school 😂😂😂
It's a blessing to have a son😊
God bless all men around the world
🙏🏾❤🙏❤🙏🏽❤🙏🏿❤🙏🏻
The son of God will show you crystal clear visions of who, what, where, how, and when.. Keep him first, but don't worry everything shown will be worked out..💙💚
A teacher that changed my life gave me this poem to memorize after our life changing talk. Only now do I realize she was talking to me through it.
In the poem, she encourages her son to follow her, stay optimistic, and keep moving forward.
Life may present us so many obstacles and challenges. The only way to deal with those is to keep grinding with patience, determination, courage, and hope.
Tysm I just copy and pasted this in my assignment

@@urfavmarocain slayy💅🏻💅🏻
This is amazing... It's very beneficial to me being a teacher. Thanks
HAHA CRINGE
Indigo ok
@@sconeboom392grow up
it's so ridiculous because it's stupid because it's trying so hard to be emotional and yet isn't because it thinks that you can just not give up when that's not how life works.
@@Nchllp329 cringe
My mother raised us as a single parent. I almost cried watching. I unconciously hurted her especially in my adolescence. Many times I've been down. I think as a man I should stay strong and that's what I'm trying to do...
I'm not here from school. I schooled myself, I came here for the love of a man who's been dead 50 years! We as a community need to school our people. Don't rely on the government! Rely on one another!
Preach.
Absolutely, as I kept climbing for myself while raising my children. Thank you, God. Amen 🙏
I'm watching this because it's one of my most favorite Langston Hughes poems.
When I was 16, my mom and I were in the car and she said each generation should build on and learn from the experience of the previous generation
Wow it is narrated by Viola Davis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who watching this for school
I'm here for onlien classes but this had me in tears 😓 words are so powerful.
Keep making such videos this made me cry😭😭😭😭
@Jack Wilson I'm emotional too, is there a problem with being emotional? Is crying banned from your world?
This is one of the most powerful poems written by Langston Hughes. And the great Viola Davis reciting it makes it just as more powerful.
Dis hit me in the feelings 😞
Me too
Writing "dis" instead of "this" definitely gives you 10000% coolness increase
@@sconeboom392 ok? That's just the way i write 😐
@@cherryquinones7296 right like ok Karen
@@sconeboom392 ok Karen, we heard your opinion
This is an extremely beautiful and it is super encouraging.
this is one of the best poems ever.
Just watched this with my son today as he was going it for literacy... such a powerful poem it bought a tear to my eye
it's so ridiculous because it's stupid because it's trying so hard to be emotional and yet isn't because it thinks that you can just not give up when that's not how life works.
This is something I feel that my late mother taught me, expressed to me before and with her death at forty-three, while me at sixteen. This wells me up with tears.
Sorry for your loss.And the same thing happens to me
I too am one of the many people who gotta watch this for school :D
Believe it or not , my dream brought me here.....wow just beautiful
I love how they say in the description that this is for a school project
And then most of us get this assigned for school
mind expanding with emotional thoughts-Endeavour like never more clever no faults-haulting for no man my two feet I stand rendering my enemies useless to the point of persecution-resurrecting the inner me over abundant and bountifully my seed shall sprout voice heard even if its til the death of me
I got this from school but its really powerful and bold.
I love this it's so deep and I got this from school
I'm going through a moment of hardship and I these words speak to me and I believe my mum would say those same words to me... You got to just keep fighting and keep striving no matter what.
very emotional .
Beautiful video, Biola Davis brings these words to life. My students agree.
i’m watching this for a school assignment but this is really powerful, i almost started crying. happy black history month.💗
Learned the meaning of this last week at school, very nice one of my favorites.
I got this from school and it has helped me so much... I watched it in class and Everybody started to tear up🥺💞
what sob school do u go to
it's so ridiculous because it's stupid because it's trying so hard to be emotional and yet isn't because it thinks that you can just not give up when that's not how life works.
Music and the voice are perfect . i just feel the word...
Wow, beautiful imagery! Really helped me understand the poem, thank you.
the amination alone heightened my curiosity
Very well done, thank you for you sharing your work.
This is so emotional. It really makes you feel like time stopped and you’re just thinking

Yooo I’m here for school too.
I understand, I do because that's been my life, since 6 years old.
Have you seen that commercial with the homeless girl blanket over her head, sitting on street, then suddenly she's now a baby sitting there crying. Not one day goes by without me feeling just like that.
bro I like missed all my classes today so now I gotta make up a bunch of work, this is one of them
This is so good it sounds like a trailer it should have been the trauler for fences
C R I N G E
@@sconeboom392 omg you’re saying cringe on everyone comment 😩. It’s not even cringe
Ugh Viola recites this beautifully!
We did an activity with this today and yesterday at school and I wanted to cry cause life for me has not been easy at all
One of my favorites
When your doing two weeks late worth of school and this is what u gotta watch- ~.~
I remember in 2000 Langston Hughes is 1 of many of my favorites. It's a shame this generation prolly won't ever hear this one. I love this. 🙏 Thank You for my fond memories of my being a kid. I'm turning 34 n man Im glad I took the chance to be part of Poetry. 1 Love baby.
Superb.
i burst into tears the moment i played it 😭💔💔
Brilliant!!👏🏽👏🏽
"life fo me aint be'n noe crystal satieya"
hit hard
Incredible.
This is a very motivational and a heart touching poem.
it's so ridiculous because it's stupid because it's trying so hard to be emotional and yet isn't because it thinks that you can just not give up when that's not how life works.
@@kiktik2413 so you want us to give up? it's telling us to strive so we can get to our goal and not stop there and before I get a comment that says "cringe" i really don't care cause I ain't tryna do that emotional shit i'm just summarizing what she is saying so please grow up and deal with life.
@@ArAbBoY6ThSt lol im just saying not everything is about just striving you dont know peoples situations where doing that could be not good for you not everything is about striving. I dont care if you reply im not wasting time argueing with people on the internet. It's just kind of stupid to think you can achieve anything if you work hard enough because that just isn't true you will have to make hard decisions and choosing the right one is a gamble which you might lose so that you wouldn't suceed.
I had to do thus for school a few months ago but know I actually wanna listen to it
I cannot wait to show this to my class.
This so inspiring I love it
i did this poem today! 27-11-19 (grade 7)
hey! your in 8th right now, hows it feel? 11/16/20
Im doing this in 8th grade!
90 of the most important seconds of my life were when an elderly Black woman recited Langston Hughes' poem "Mother to Son" to me, as we marched together 60+ years ago in Wichita, as some people threw rocks at us.
So moving.
school during corona be like...
The words are so simple..yet so powerful
It hits me in the heart ;(
This is one of the most amazing poem that explains life for some people and it is so deep and truthful and tells him to keep going no matter how hard life gets.
