The theme of the poem "Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes is:
- America was never great for those who built it, but it can be in the future.
In the poem, Langston Hughes expresses the idea that America has not fully lived up to its ideals of equality and freedom for all its citizens, especially for those who have worked hard to build the country. However, there is hope and a call for change towards a future where America can truly become a land of opportunity and equality for everyone. The poem acknowledges the struggles and inequalities present in America's history while holding onto the belief that a better, more inclusive future is possible.
