Where do we draw our strength in the wake of great change? Join artists, writers, performers, activists, and community members for a daylong reading of Langston Hughes’s prescient 1935 poem “Let America Be America Again.” We invite you to use the Brooklyn Museum today, and always, as a source of inspiration, reflection, community building, wonder, and magic.

Free and open to the public. All are welcome. Readings take place every 30 minutes between 11 am and 6 pm.
