“Who constitutes America? For the great 19th-century poet Walt Whitman, America was the totality of its people working in concert, each providing their own individual and equally valuable contribution to the nation. First published in the 1860 edition of Leaves of Grass, “I Hear America Singing” celebrated America’s vibrant multiplicity: depicting a nation in rude health whose collective strength derived from the “varied carols” of its citizens. His poetry exalted the democratic ideals of the U.S Declaration of Independence and the natural equality of all human beings.”
