Claude McKay’s iconic sonnet America balances reverence and critique, love and resistance — a literary reflection on identity, nationhood, and strength in the face of adversity. Presented in clean typewriter font on a white (or black) background, this powerful print invites thought and dialogue. A striking tribute to Black literary tradition and the enduring voice of the Harlem Renaissance.
