Free-write: Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes wrote "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" in which he concludes:

We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.

What does it mean to build a temple for tomorrow "strong as we know how"?  What does it mean to be "free within ourselves"?  Reflect on that for five-minutes in a free-write.  Remember you must not stop writing for the five minutes.
