I, Too By Langston Hughes

I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother, They send me to eat in the kitchenWhen company comes,But I laugh, And eat well,And grow strong.Tomorrow, I'll be at the tableWhen company comes.Nobody'll dareSay to me, "Eat in the kitchen,"Then.Besides, They'll see how beautiful I amAnd be ashamed-I, too, am
