This fall, the Loft presents linked programming around the theme of Vigilance. Through this theme, the Loft will explore how poems and stories can bear witness, and how words can help us to hold light in the darkness.

Here, Danez Smith performs Langston Hughes' "Let America Be America Again." Danez will perform at the Loft as part of the Vigilance series. Learn more about all the upcoming Vigilance events and classes at loft.org/vigilance.
