Let America Be America Again: And Other Poems

Let America Be America Again: And Other Poems | Langston Hughes

Thanks to @Karisa for introducing me to this poem. I‘ve read it over and over again this morning and also listened to James Earl Jones read it, plus this 🔥 video: https://youtu.be/AXz1wypzPS8?si=ouyKvgswv07T6CKB
Read it, listen to it, share it. And be in awe that this was written in 1935! Yet here we are. #readingispolitical #overcomingevilempires #antifabookclub

Chrissyreadit wow!! We are a country of very different ideals- built on the backs of people who have been damaged over and over again by the wealthy and elite. I am disgusted by the evil and corruption and anyone who thinks it is acceptable. I am in awe of the resilience and hope of so many marginalized communities. Thank you for sharing this! 18h
