Read by Langston Hughes.

Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967).

●▬▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬▬●

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 we are
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.
