Explanation:

"Let America be America again" is a poem written by Langston Hughes, where he reflects on the vision of the American dream and the hope of a just and equal America. At the beginning of the poem, he states that America is a land of dreams and hope, but that this is unavailable to him. Then he asks himself "And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?" which shows that someone is not agreeing with him, but speaking negatively about his positive view of America. This is because Hughes begins to say that this positive view of America is false, as it was never this wonderful place, as there are so many people being treated unfairly.
