"The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative." ~ John Dewey, Experience and Education, 1938

I, Too, Sing America

---

by Langston Hughes


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.
