I, too, sing America. <br /> <br />I am the darker brother. <br />They send me to eat in the kitchen <br />When company comes, <br />But I laugh, <br />And eat well, <br />And grow strong. <br /> <br />Tomorrow, <br />I'll be at the table <br />When company comes. <br />Nobody'll dare <br />Say to me, <br />"Eat in the kitchen," <br />Then. <br /> <br />Besides, <br />They'll see how beautiful I am <br />And be ashamed-- <br /> <br />I, too, am America.<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-too/
