Read the poem: PITY THE NATION (After Khalil Gibran), by Lawrence Ferlinghetti:
"Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerers
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture
Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own
Pity the nation whose breath is money

Pity the nation oh pity the people
who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away
My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of liberty!

(ENADE, 2014) "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
« Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more."

(ENADE, 2017) During an American Literature survey course at an American university, there 
was a racial incident at the university library. It was bad enough to make the President of the 
university send a message condemning racism and improper behavior and to lead many African 
American students hold protests and marches on campus.
In the final exam period, the professor responsible for the survey course exhorted students that such 
incidents show why we need to study literature, specifically literature of diverse voices from the past. 
He mentioned some texts which directly addressed white readership about the hypocrisy of racial 
bias, as a prime example of the type of literary work that the offending student, and all students, 
should be reading so as to interrogate critically their own prejudices and to nullify or respond 
thoughtfully to such hateful acts. He also encouraged them to be activists in addition to scholars, to 
speak up against injustice while remembering the lessons of earlier American culture wars. 
As the ensuing final project presentations demonstrated, he needn't have bothered. The class had 
already internalized these lessons and applied them to their anthology and literary recovery projects. 
These projects recovered forgotten or neglected voices and put them into conversation with our world 
of 2015 or grouped together activist or subversive texts from American writers. Regardless of the 
topic they chose, these students were making pre-1900 American literature speak to their time as well 
as to its own. In essence, this was the entire point of the survey course, which, throughout the 
semester, worked to surface issues of canon : who's in, who's out, and who decides, and what points 
in history.
