Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead book cover

I was honored to stand with Austin’s writing community and writers across the country for an evening of rapid-fire readings designed to renew our energy and help us find the language and stories we need to fight for a free, just and compassionate society. Participating writers included Sarah Bird, Elizabeth McCracken, Cyrus Cassells, Sasha West, Tammy Gomez, and Chaitali Sen.

I read Let America Be America Again by Langston Hughes.  See the video here.
