Portugal, 25 de Abril de 1974 / 2024 — 50
25 de Abril 1974
by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava
O dia inicial inteiro e limpo
Onde emergimos da noite e do silêncio
E livres habitamos a substância do tempo
– [from 'O nome das coisas', 1977]
25th April 1974
by Sophia de Mello Breyner
This is the dawn I was waiting for
The first day whole and pure
When we emerged from night and silence
Alive into substance of time
– Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, (1977), 25th April 1974, in Marine Rose. Selected Poems, Translated by Ruth Fainlight, Black Swan Books, Redding Ridge, CT, 1988, p. 56

Langston Hughes, Kids Who Die (1938), in The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, (1994), Edited with an Introduction by Arnold Rampersad, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, NY, 1997, pp. 210-211
«My one regret about my fine time of learning and discovery at Columbia is the knowledge that other African Americans who later went on to become movers and shakers in the world were turned away from the university. […] Langston Hughes, accepted at Columbia University in the early twenties, was denied a room in the dormitory because he was black. He lived in the Harlem YMCA, spent much of his time exploring the cultural attractions of Harlem, and dropped out after only a year at Columbia. He eventually graduated from Lincoln, a black college in Pennsylvania. By 1926, he had published his first volume of poetry. The rest is history.»
– Wendy Jones, Columbia and Race: In the Right and in the Wrong, «Write Columbia's History». C250 Perspectives, Columbia University, New York, NY, [2003-2004]
