Let America Be America Again – Langston Hughes
An excerpt from Hughes’s powerful and poetic truth-telling about the America that never was and in some circles will never be if the powers that be have their way.
O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.
(There’s never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”)
