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
