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. 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.
My PeopleThe night is beautiful, So the faces of my people. The stars are beautiful, So the eyes of my peopleSo the eyes of my peopleBeautiful, also, is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.
