@edgarblythe,
edgar, just turn down the volume, and that will allow your sleeping grandchild to lie.
Here's an interesting commentery from John of Virginia concerning the man who read Langston Hughes' poem.
Langston Hughes' Let America Be America Again.
I was immediately attracted by the voice of the gentleman reading it. I could not find a credit, but that HAS to be James Robertson, professor of history at Virginia Tech. His expertise is in the Civil War and for many years he would talk about some snippet of Civil War history for a couple of minutes on Friday mornings on our local NPR station. He has a beautiful southern accent that, believe it or not, is not too far removed from my own sometimes. He also has, and this was not noticed by me until some of his former students pointed it out, a slight speech impediment you can perhaps detect if you listen closely.
Good to see Panzade is back.
Thank you, RJB.
