Let America be America Again
"Let America Be America Again" is a poem written in 1935 by Langston Hughes. It was originally published in the July 1936 issue of ''Esquire Magazine''. It was later republished in the 1937 to be read issue of ''Kansas Magazine'' and was revised and included in a small collection of Langston Hughes poems entitled ''A New Song'', published by the International Workers Order in 1938.〔''The Collected Works of Langston Hughes: Gospel plays, operas, and later'', p. xv.〕〔Jean Wagner, ''Black Poets of the United States: From Paul Laurence Dunbar to Langston Hughes'', p. 451.〕
==Overview==

The poem speaks of the American dream that never existed for the lower-class American . It also talks about the freedom and equality that every immigrant hoped for but never achieved. In his poem, Hughes represents not only African Americans, but other economically disadvantaged and minority groups as well. Besides criticizing the unfair life in America, the poem conveys a sense of hope that the American Dream is soon to come.
The title of this poem was used by Democratic United States senator John Kerry as a campaign slogan in his 2004 presidential campaign. In 2011 an exploratory committee for conservative Republican former senator Rick Santorum used a variant of the phrase ("Fighting to make America America again") on its website; told of the slogan's derivation from the Hughes poem, Santorum stated he had "nothing to do with" its use by the committee. Additionally, the satirical website RestoringTruthiness.org refutes the idea Santorum appropriated Hughes's language, claiming that the phrase "make America America again" is "not unique nor very original."
