Both Truth’s speech and Hughes poem have a great significance on the American society to date. Truth’s Speech was a cry for fair and equal treatment of all women with much concern on the African American women. Her speech sparked many revolutions and constitutional amendments that has made all women being afforded equal rights and opportunities as those of men. Also, respect and fair of the African American women as is experienced currently is all a reflection of the speech (Hooks, 2014).

Hughes poem spoke of the American dream that was entirely far out of reach to the black Americans. His poem shows the unequal chances that the African American people had during his time. Currently, in spite of the rare cases of racial discrimination in America, a good number of the African Americans still find it hard to fully fit and participate in the society due to discrimination on basis of their color (Anirudh, 2016). Justice Fair treatment is one of the pillars of any nation. Out of it great nations Like the USA have pulled through tough times to a point of becoming a superpower.

The constitution brought about order in the distribution of resources and protection of property rights. This reduced and has reduced wrangles due to resources amongst the Americans as the constitution guided on verdicts regarding breach of property rights. The constitution however bound most of the resources to the native white Americans. This is depicted today, as most big ranches in the states are owned by the White Americans
