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.
-Langston Hughes
