I, Too Sing America
All / Holidays and Seasons / Black History Month
Have a seat. I. Am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes, but I laugh. And I eat well, and I grow strong. Tomorrow, I will sit at the table when company comes. Nobody will dare say to me, eat in the kitchen then. Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am. And be ashamed. I too am America. Who wrote that? Langston Hughes, 1924. 1925.
