Langston Hughes Quotes

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.

Langston Hughes
