I Too - Langston Hughes

I, too, simg America.

i am the darker brother

they send me to eat in the kitchen

when company comes,

But i laugh, eat well, and grow strong

tomorrow, ill be at the table

when company comes.

nobody’ll dare

Say to me,

«eat in the kitchen,»

then.

besides,

they’ll see how beautiful we are

and be ashamed--

I, too, am

American.
