Harry Belafonte: What Do We Have To Lose? Everything
New York Times
One of Nina Simone's searing civil rights songs. The lyrics by poet Langston Hughes weave a kaleidoscope of issues and images.
This Op-Ed celebrates Langston Hughes’ iconic poem, "Let America Be America Again,” by situating it in the context of current political traumas: the Trump administration’s assault on American values of equality, pluralism, and human dignity. Featuring found media footage and excerpts from public poetry readings by activists Nikki Giovanni and Michael Moore, this Op-Ed is a rallying cry for all Americans to join the Resistance.
