Langston Hughes, The Ballad of Booker T. (1941): This is after the Harlem Renaissance, but still... the pertinence of the topic cannot be denied. Extra cool: the Library of Congress posts FIVE drafts, with Hughes' own notes scrawled on them, so you can see the progression of his work! The last one is the final version. I am conflicted about whether to look at this in class when introducing Hughes, or later, where it fits chronologically. The Scopes "Monkey Trial" H.L.

Here is another link to the video: Spirit of 43 (Donald Duck) The FDR Elections (1932, 1936, 1940 & 1944) - an outstanding narrative, and not too long!
