DESCRIPTION:On January 20, 2005, at the moment the oath of office is being administered 
 in Washington, D.C., (12 noon EST) Artists and Writers for Peace will bring 
 people together in BART Plaza in downtown Berkeley to read the Langston 
 Hughes poem Let America Be America Again. Anyone in attendance who wants to 
 join in will have a chance to come to the microphone and read one 
 stanza--the reading will continue until everyone has had a turn or the 
 light grows dim.   We are sending a call out to people all over the country 
 to make their own form of this action as part of their Inauguration day 
 activities. We like the idea of all of the voices raised to drown out the 
 speeches and pontification and lies that will emanate from our nation\\\'s 
 capitol that day. And we like the idea of everyone reading the poem at 12 
 noon EST--the official hour of the inauguration ceremony.   While Let 
 America Be America Again was first published in 1936, it speaks to us today 
 with a voice both critical and hopeful.   More information here:
