After a $1 TRILLION cut to Medicaid just got passed by this Congress and this administration…. We SHOULD be crying.
And fighting.

On this day in American History, the celebrated writer Langston Hughes was born in 1902. A leader of the incredible Harlem Renaissance whose words still inspire.
I read this poem every year before the beginning of the school year as a teacher.

1/2 (Sung to I Sing a Song of the Saints of God)
I sing a song of the Way of Love/
& those who proclaim God’s Word/
They preach mercy & love in a gentle voice/
That even the tyrants heard/
You can find them proclaiming the gospel each hour/
Standing for the oppressed, bringing hope to new flower/
