I, too sing America
Langston Hughes
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
