"When it is finally ours, this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful / and terrible thing, needful to man as air, / usable as the earth ..."

I read a poem in @TheAtlantic for Juneteenth thanks to the folks at @HarkAudio!
It’s a piece by Robert Hayden, the first Black Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress — what we now call the U.S. Poet Laureate.
Give it a listen and happy Juneteenth!
Here's a very special poem for Juneteenth by Robert Hayden, published in The Atlantic in 1947.

Why do we bother to make beautiful things? @KenBurns and @Kimmelman discuss what it means that the Brooklyn Bridge is not only a feat of engineering, but also a magnificent sight, especially viewed from @TheRiverCafe.

Today is the 140th anniv. of the Brooklyn Bridge. I recently walked across with @nytimes architecture writer @kimmelman. We made a short film about it, which you can see at @UNUMKenBurns. @PBS @ThirteenWNET https://t.co/Uhcbv0GSEi

Aptly for July 4: our latest UNUM Short. It was incredible to return with Alexander and Yevgeny Vindman to the same bench on Brighton Beach where so many years before Ken had first asked them: What is liberty? Great job by the whole @UNUMKenBurns team!
Refugees have always made America stronger.
@KenBurns and his team at @UNUMKenBurns asked @AVindman and me to reflect on our own story and how the refugee crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine demands a stronger response from the U.S. https://t.co/w41qzIerwE
Nearly 40 years ago, @yvindman & I met @KenBurns on a bench at Brighton Beach. He asked us what the Statue of Liberty meant to us.
In this vid, @UNUMKenBurns brought us back to reflect on how our country's treatment of refugees conflicts with its ideals. https://t.co/A8frkkkX2x
Many challenges remain including the yet unrealized promise of liberty and justice for all.
But I still believe in the promise of America and sense the long arc of history still bends towards a more perfect union. Watch this short vid doc with @YVindman created by @UNUMKenBurns
“Today, America is faced with yet another opportunity to live up to its creed,” says Alexander Vindman. “How we treat refugees is one of the greatest tests of our American experiment.” https://t.co/1IdskgEiqH
