Langston Hughes — "I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitche…"

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 — Langston Hughes Modern · Harlem Renaissance poet
