What Makes It Uncommon

Not Rose-colored

On an October night in 1935, poet Langston Hughes boarded a train in New York City, bound for his mother's Cleveland home. As he headed west through a country still in the grip of the Great Depression, he wrote his poem "Let America Be America Again: Let it be the dream it used to be." Decades later, Hughes' ode to a nation that still hadn't lived up to its promise would become one of his most quoted works. The full text of the celebrated poem is re-created across this pair of glasses, with the verses and the gold-lettered title flowing continuously from one piece to the next. Unblinking, challenging, and ultimately suffused with hope, Hughes' words are as timely today as they were when he first put them to paper. Glass made and decorated in USA.

A portion of each sale will go to the Estate of Langston Hughes.
