Exhibition: America

Picture

​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.  
(It never was America to me.)  
O, let my land be a land where Liberty 
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, 
But opportunity is real, and life is free, 
Equality is in the air we breathe.
 
--Langston Hughes
