Chapter 23 I, Too, Sing America

I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When the company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, Ill be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides, Theyll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed-- I, too, am America.
