I, Too, Sing America I, too, sing America I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in teh 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. Langston Hughes (1902-1967) American poet, novelist and playwright
