LANGSTON HUGHES DAY

*EPILOGUE
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 sit at the table
When company comes
Nobody'll dare
Say to me
"Eat in the kitchen"
Then

Besides
They see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed-

I,tto am America
