Langston Hughes: Beaumont to Detroit (1943)

Looky here, America What you done done – Let things drift Until the riots come

Now your policemen Let the mobs run free. I reckon you don’t care Nothing about me.

You tell me that hitler Is a mighty bad man. I guess he took lessons From the ku klux klan.

You tell me mussolini’s Got an evil heart. Well, it mus-a been in Beaumont That he had his start –

Cause everything that hitler And mussolini do Negroes get the same Treatment from you

You jim crowed me Before hitler rose to power – And you’re still jim crowing me Right now, this very hour.

Yet you say we’re fightin For democracy. Then why don’t democracy Include me?

I ask you this question Cause I want to know How long I got to fight BOTH HITLER – AND JIM CROW.

I don't know how to break this to you, but the US didn't win the "Space Race"

It’s time to get clear about who you are. It’s time to get clear about what you want. It’s time to get clear about what you need. It’s time to get clear about what you value. It’s time to get clear about what you deserve.

“Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit” is so savage.

Easter is a reminder that life can begin again, even after the hardest seasons. That what feels broken can be restored, and what feels lost can still be found. It reminds us that no matter where we've been or what we've faced, there is always a chance to start fresh.

May this Easter bring you peace in your heart, light in your life, and the courage to believe in new beginnings. 💐💗🐣
