Literary Analysis Essay: In “silhouette”, Langston Hughes discusses the lynching of a black man in America. Write to carefully analyze how the poet addresses one of the most horrific stains on American history.

Here is the text:


Southern gentle lady,

Do not swoon.
They’ve just hung a black man
In the dark of the moon.

They’ve hung a black man
To a roadside tree
In the dark of the moon
For the world to see
How Dixie protects
Its white womanhood.

Southern gentle lady,
Be good!
Be good!

I need citations within the essay and the parenthesis from where they came from  please
