"Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes, performed by Aldo Billingslea

[@beckydriscoll4254]

This is my favorite poem and I have never enjoyed a reading of it as much as this one. I am trying so hard to find the solace that this poem has always brought me. John Lewis says we must not let ourselves be lost in the sea of despair because we will find a way to make a way out of no way, and I am trying so hard to find my faith again.

Just showed this to my English students. It's the most powerful reading of it I've seen. Thank you so much for this.

Aldo Billingslea channeled Langston Hughes. It struck me that the pain of injustice carves a man like a chisel into the form of a man of justice, although he has never known it. And the tears of that pain increase his vision to that of an eagle, although he has never soared. This broke me down. And built me back up. Thank you, Aldo.

I have just discovered Langston Hughes through a reading of "Our Daily Bread" this poem is profoundly brilliant. I am a Scottish singer song writer and wrote a song called "America" "can you be all that you seam, can you keep the promises you give to everyone, looking for the American Dream"
