Text:

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.

The author's name -- Langston Hughes -- appears vertically along the left side of the poem's text, reading from the bottom up.

I can't read this white italic script against the busy red/white/blue background 😬
