“Create an image based on the following lines from Langston Hughes’s poem Let America Be America Again: ‘Yet I’m the one who dreamt our basic dream… That’s made America the land it has become.’ These lines include a powerful emotional scene showing the labor and hope of immigrants and oppressed people who built America. The image should include a worker from the Old World (like a peasant or serf), standing in a field with distant factories and cities rising from the land. Show the worker’s hands shaping bricks and plowing fields, symbolizing building and farming. Use warm, earthy tones and dramatic lighting to reflect the bravery and enduring hope in the dream.” See more
