I, Too - Langston Hughes

[Larry Robinson]

I, Too

	
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
