Mother To Son Discrimination
A Life Challenges and Racial Discrimination
Moving from one place to another allows you to experience many new aspects of life. However, moving from one country to another is a life changing the experience.

Every person did, especially during your childhood, but still cared more about less important things. Everyone, no matter, what age has a lot of challenges and problems to solve or overcome every day. The poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes is one of the examples which explain how difficult climbing the up in the life is. Hughes uses a hidden metaphor-meaning in which he compares the living a life and climbing the opposite of crystal stair. In the poem, mother to son says “I’se still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair” meaning there is no person on the world whose life is always easy (Hughes, “Mot. to Son” line 19-20).

The United States of America, which brought people from all over the world, is stated as the land of opportunity and freedom, it is also the country that is notorious for the racial discrimination. Racism and discrimination have been one of the most significant issues that people have been facing and fighting for, and is still occurring around us without even knowing. Actually, Grady Smith in the article "Black Nativity" has explanation that "racial discrimination is also the belief that race accounts for differences in human character and that a particular race is superior to others" (Smith).
