We’re a couple days late celebrating the birthday of Langston Hughes (born February 1, 1902). This image is from an edition of “Let America be America Again”, originally published in 1938. As usual, Hughes’ words still have relevance today; the facing page reads:

“O, let my land be a land where liberty is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, but opportunity is real and life is free”
