I Too Sing America
I, too, sing America
In this poem Hughes expresses the sense of ethnic heritage because his mother told him stories about his origin and about black people. This made him proud of his black identity. The poem is written in free verses with short lines and simple language. There is no desperation for being a black person but pride. The use of “I” is collective not individual that means “I” represents all of the black people. The word “tomorrow” gives the sense of hope for a better and fairer future which he probably won’t live as he might die before this comes true.
