“We have a country that is pickled in right-wing misinformation and rage.”
Anybody else hear #LangstonHughes asking what happens to a raisin in the sun?
Just me?

Today's poem:
Dreams
- by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
#LangstonHughes's maternal grandmother was married to a man who joined #JohnBrown at Harper’s Ferry, where he was fatally wounded.
