One of my favorite magazines is The Sun<\/em>. It is deliciously deep with no fluff, no advertising. I read it from cover to cover and it is always an enriching experience. The recent issue republishes Langston Hughes’ poem, “Let America Be America Again,” originally published in 1935. I had read it before many years ago, but it has hit me like a thunderbolt in reading it now in the context of our present political insanity. Please read this poem for your own immunity against what is happening. Here is a link to the poem:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
