I,
Too
--
Langston Hughes
The Poem “I, Too” was
written by Langston Hughes, a Black American poet. In this brief and simple poem, Hughes declares
the faith and optimism of the Black American.
The Negroes were patiently tolerating all discrimination and
ill-treatment. But, they were certain that their power and worth will be
recognized some day.
This poem is about the
self-assertion of a Negro in America.
The Masters of the Negro servant make him eat in the kitchen when the
guests come. But he does not feel
ashamed. Instead, he eats more and grows stronger. At latter day, when the
guests come, they will not dare to limit him to the kitchen. The Negro will sit along with them. Further, he will get appreciation for his
beauty. This poem is an indication of
the poet’s indomitable spirit and optimism for a better future.
