Langston Hughes Quote T-Shirt

African Americans bring a rich range of experiences, struggles and achievements throughout history and into the modern day. Each month, The Wright Museum features a different memorable quote each month from a prominent black figure. Inspire and motivate with this cotton tee inspired by poet, 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.”

-Langston Hughes
