When was Daybreak in Alabama by Langston Hughes written?
If you have more questions about the publication dates of Hughes’ poems, a great place to look is The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes (edited by Arnold Rampersad). At the end of this book (starting on page 619), there is a section called “Notes to the Poems” that gives this information. The page on which the poem occurs in the volume is on the left margin, next to information about each poem.
