Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

Langston Hughes (Feb 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967) American Poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, columnist.
