I Too by Langston Hughes — Read

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 sit 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.
