Hughes was right, right again. In many Hughes’s poems I was finding the
right. Perhaps at his time a man, who had read this poem thought: “It’s
just the negroe’s dream.” But look at America now!

The poem I, Too, written by Langston Hughes, uses excellent language, vivid
imagery and strong sounds to express the poet's feelings towards racism. I,
Too is an anti-discrimination poem, which shows the injustice of racism. In
addition, the poem make us to reflect on an issue that is very commom
nowadays.

I liked this poem alot. Im in my 3rd year of high school and so far this
poem has made it awesome. I like it alot. People of his nationality are
most likely grateful that Langston Hughes wrote this poem. This makes me
happy and to anyone who reads this, I hope you feel the same. I like it
alot and me being one of the darker teenagers at my school (Native
American) I feel that everyone has a right to be free.
