Ites of Consciousness

Feb 1
“Ethiopia,
Lift your night-dark face,
Abyssinian
Son of Sheba’s race!
Tour palm trees tall
And your mountains high
Are shade and shelter
To men who die
For freedom’s sake—
But in the wake of your sacrifice
May all Africa arise
With blazing eyes and night-dark face
In answer to the call of Sheba’s race:
Ethiopia’s free!
Be like me,
All of Africa,
Arise and be free!
All you black peoples,
Be free! Be free!” Langston Hughes. Call of Ethiopia Poem.
