This is trully an amazing poem that says so much by stating so little. I
admire people who tell it like it is and arent afraid to show the true
colors of America.

As I watched the devastating effects of Hurricaine Katrina and listened to
the "finger pointing" statements of the United States leadership , my
thoughts focused on this poem: " I, Too, Sing America" regardless of socio
economic status , "I, Too, Sing America" , regardless of my political
orientation, "I Too, Sing America"; although our financial contributions
are minor compared to the needs of the citizens of New Orleans, Alabama and
Mississippi, "We Too, Sing America".

I too, support america's beauty,and success, although i am of a different
background. The politician want allow me to be apart of the decision
makings of america. I am told to learn about what's going on through the
tv, newspaper, or radio, so i smiled and acquired understanding, and
knowledge, but one day, i will be at the polls when mainstream america
votes. Nobody can stop me from voting for a person of my choice,
furthermore, they will witness my beauty, and success, and be embarassed
about the way they treated me, because i am your brother.

you will find the symbolism your looking for [pertaining to table], by
recalling Americas policy of blacks not being allowed to eat with white
people, a policy that was also adopted by the white house].

"I, Too"; the basis of the idea is alienation and loneliness through
discrimination - the narrator eats in the kitchen. This is a simple
construction of intolerance and bigotry, but as the poem ends, you'll
notice that the symbolism of revolution, be it metaphorical or reality
based, empowers the isolated man to move, from which point the isolated
becomes the isolator. The entire poem is a symbol of bigotry as a symbol of
the flip-flopping of social power structures.

I am doing a project on this poem and I found it easy to understand, but
hard to pick apart.

I love Langston Hughes' work. I, too, sing America is one of my favorite
poems. I love the way he deals with how black americans are treated. I feel
that it should be a requirement in all English Classes. There are many
comparisons that can be made with how blacks are treated in 2005!

i have to teach Langston Hughes to my class and i have to be able to break
the poem down and explain the true and metaphor meaning of the poem. can
someone please give me the true back round of the poem or can they please
give me a site i can go to to get it.
