Hey, Black Child is a encouraging poem for the possibilities of young children in the Harlem renaissance era and all children for that matter, especially seeing that a black child's possibilities weren't made apparent at the time. Although it is very repetitive, it is powerful. It is a method of drilling this inside of children's heads by repeating this over and over. The messages that Cullen is sending goes by stanza. In the first stanza, it is a message of achievement explaining that you can achieve what you want wen you try. The second stanza gives the idea of education when you apply yourself. No one can control you because you are in control of your life. The third stanza is referring to the past by telling black children that they are strong because of the struggle for black people to be able to learn and to achieve things. The last stanza is referring to the future and is telling black children that basically life is what you make it and if you learn what you must learn and do what you must do, your nation will be what you want it to be.
