I can’t find any archival evidence that that the Langston Hughes poem circulating here today is authentic so here is a sourced Hughes poem, Beaumont to Detroit, 1943, published that year in the magazine Common Ground, in which he compares Hitler and Mussolini to American Jim Crow and the KKK
COMMON GROUND BEAUMONT TO DETROIT: 1943 Looky here, America What you done done— Let things drift Until the riots come. Cause everything that hitler And mussolini do Negroes get the same Treatment from you. Now your policemen Let the mobs run free. I reckon you don't care Nothing about me. You tell me that hitler Is a mighty bad man. I guess he took lessons From the ku klux klan. You jim crowed me Before hitler rose to power— And you're sTiLL jim crowing me Right now, this very hour. Yet you say we're fighting For democracy. Then why don't democracy Include me? You tell me mussolini's Got an evil heart. Well, it mus-a been in Beaumont That he had his start— I ask you this question Cause I want to know How long I got to fight BOTH HITLER-AND JIM CROW. -Langston Hughes, syndicated by the Associated Negro Press, in New York People's Voice and other papers, July 3.
