While we don't know the final poem he wrote, we do know that Hughes continued writing until his death in 1967. Some of his last published works include:
* "Ask Your Mama" (1961): This is a long poem that reflects on the experiences of African Americans in the United States.
* "The Panther and the Lash" (1967): This poem was written in response to the Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for racial equality.
These works show Hughes's ongoing commitment to social justice and his unique poetic voice until the end of his life.
