I, TOOby Langston Hughes

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.
