In conclusion, the poem “I, Too, Sing America, is an ode to a time when African-Americans are treated and viewed as a significant part of American society. Even though, the speaker experiences discrimination, they do not wallow in despair. They instead chose to “…laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.” (lines 5-7). The speaker dwells on the day in the near future, in which African-Americans have true equality and are recognized as beautiful. Langston Hughes tells his audience that African-Americans are valuable and despite their unfair treatment, they still have a strong sense of patriotism for their country.
