The community's original name was Coal Bed, but was changed to Wales in 1857. There once was a railroad depot and it was an important and busy mining center. The mines and train were abandoned when more productive mines were discovered in Scofield, Utah.

The poem is an anti-war poem giving the authorâs negative view of his home country Australiaâs involvement in the dehumanizing conflict. The title of the poem provides irony. When one thinks of homecoming, it is usually a happy time or one that both parties find reviving.
Realize the era that this poem was written in. Langston Hughes wrote this poem during the 1920s and refers to the delayed promise from the Emancipation Proclamation. The African Americans during the 1920s still did not have the civil rights that they were promised; that is what a dream deferred is. And all the possibilities of the dream deferred pertain to what the community might do if they continue to not attain their \'dream\'.
