Incident

I really liked the poem Incident because it really flowed and I could almost hear Cullen saying it in my head. Incident is a good example of the Harlem Renaissance. In the poem Cullen gets called a nigger by a white kid the same age as him and for no reason. Being a kid that had to have been a horrible incident. He was just being nice and smiling and the other kid didn't even know him but judged immediately just for being black. Cullen says at the end of the poem that out of all the time he was in Baltimore that was all he remembered.
" saw the whole of Baltimore
From May until December;
Of all the things that happened there
That's all that I remember. "
