Before and Beyond Harlem
O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!
If I could live again - I will travel light, If I could live again - I'll try to work bare feet at the beginning of spring till the end of autumn. Jorge Luis Borges, Instants

Unfortunately we are still waiting on that "will be" part. Soon - I hope. Soon.
As long as we continue to be conscious about the work that it takes to reach our "all inclusive/representative" America - there is no need to give up on Hughes' dream.
Thanks for suggesting that I vist your space.
