As Americans we realize - Senator Booker's Win is also Our Win... Its Democracy's Win!

I hope this creates a resurgence of interest in all of Langston Hughes's extraordinary writings.🧡📖

Booker’s marathon was truly impressive as he and his staff had prepared! He had important things to say and at times was eloquent. He even read a letter from Chippewa Falls where the winning Susan Crawford is from. I was very proud of him .

That mean give it back to original people who’s land you all stole?

I taught Langston Hughes’ “Let America Be America Again” in conjunction with Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing”. That would definitely be forbidden in Florida’s classrooms in today’s repressive environment.

In the many years I taught ELA at the secondary level in Florida I taught my students of all levels, from intensive to gifted, the poems of Langston Hughes. In Florida I would no longer be allowed to teach Langston Hughes. They want to take us back to the worst period of this country’s history.
