Step-by-step explanation:

The allusion that Hughes makes in his poem is a reference to the poem "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman. An allusion is an indirect reference that an author makes to a thing, person, place or idea from an unrelated context. In this poem, the author wants the reader to recognize that he, just like the characters of Whitman's poem, is a vital part of America, despite the exclusion and racism that he suffers in his daily life.
