Langston Hughes
They send me to eat in the kitchen
I am the darker brother.
And eat well,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
When companycomes,
Tomorrow,
And beashamed--
Nobodyll dare
Ill be at the table
I, Too
I, too, sing America.
I, too, am America.
But I laugh,
Besides,
Say to me,
When company comes.
And grow strong.
Theyll see how beautifulI am
Then.
