I, Too By: Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes,… But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.
Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, “Eat in the kitchen,” Then.
Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed—
I, too, am America
