“I, Too”, 1926I, 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
