He is saying that people shouldnt be ashamed of who they are, or what they do. They should be proud of themselves, and shouldn't hide it from the world.
ReplyDeleteIf he were still alive he would hear the songs of the single mothers working hard to support a family,the songs of kids without a family who loves them, the songs of african americans singing songs of joy in this time of history being made.
If he were alive he would hear the hard work of all the people trying to support there famlies. He would hear the sounds of people working hard to find were they belong in life.
ReplyDeleteWe should not be ashamed of who we are we need to share it with the world.
The reason that each person's should be "blithe and strong" is because we are each unique and should share that uniqueness without shame with everyone else.
ReplyDeleteWhitman would be hearing people today singing about the war, not being able to pay the bills, the stock market, panic, and the fact that the highest place in our country is now held by a black man.
These people singing ARE the blithe and strong and they need to keep on working hard supporting their families and their country.
ReplyDeletewe need to not be ashamed of who we are and where we're from.
ReplyDeleteIf he were hear today he would hear the people singing about how single parents are trying to suppourt they're families. or little babies that are just left by themselves, children that get beat everyday for nothin, or just people who can't protect themselves.
Blith and strong because they need to be powerful and be happy with thier lives and work hard. Walt witman would sing about a black president
