  • Lady Day sings   Strange Fruit

LangstonHughes.jpg

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 sit 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.
