PRESENTATION OUTLINE

LET AMERICA BE AMERICA AGAIN

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

O, LET AMERICA BE AMERICA AGAIN-

THAT NEVER HAS BEEN-

THE LAND

AND YET MUST BE-

THE LAND WHERE EVERY MAN IS FREE.

THE LAND THAT'S MINE-

THE POOR MAN'S, INDIAN'S, NEGRO'S, ME-

WHO MADE AMERICA,

WHOSE SWEAT AND BLOOD,

WHOSE FAITH AND PAIN,

WHOSE HAND AT THE FOUNDRY,

WHOSE PLOW IN THE RAIN,

OUR MIGHTY DREAM AGAIN.

MUST BRING BACK

CALL ME ANY UGLY NAME YOU CHOOSE-

SURE,

THE STEEL OF FREEDOM

DOES NOT STAIN.

LIKE LEECHES ON PEOPLE'S LIVES,

FROM THOSE WHO LIVE

AMERICA!

WE MUST TAKE BACK OUR LAND AGAIN,

O, YES, I SAY IT PLAIN,

AMERICA NEVER WAS AMERICA TO ME,

AND YET I SWEAR THIS OATH-

AMERICA WILL BE!
