In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Langston Hughes discusses how African American artists who want to become recognized often feel they will face added hardship and scrutiny because of their race. Therefore, they try to "pass" as white, denying themselves the exploration of their own voice. Hughes believes that if they were to be exposed to African American artists, they would be more likely to celebrate their identity instead of denying it.
