I, too, sing america.

I think the poem I, too, sing America by Langston Hughes is such an important poem in American history. It portrays the struggles that African Americans had to endure to try to live their American dream. I love the part where he writes, "Besides,/ They'll see how beautiful I am/ And be ashamed--/ I, too, am America" This is such a powerful stanza of poetry. The reader is really able to understand how sad and horrible life was for African Americans and how they felt being treated differently every day. Sad, sad.
