I too
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.

1. LOVE, LOVE this poem.
(You should give Langston Hughes some love, though. He'd have been happy tonight.)

Amen
Langston Hughes should only be here to see this.
