If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music
There's something else that makes this tune complete

Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got"

"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."

And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate.
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."]]> 2023-09-27 05:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722495326 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722511877 2023-09-27 05:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722511877 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722512058 2023-09-27 05:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722512058 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722512299 2023-09-27 05:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722512299 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722512549 2023-09-27 05:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722512549 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722513403 2023-09-27 05:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722513403 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722513569 2023-09-27 05:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722513569 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722517599 2023-09-27 05:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722517599 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722520131 2023-09-27 05:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722520131 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722530687 2023-09-27 05:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722530687 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722532158 2023-09-27 05:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722532158 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722539384 2023-09-27 06:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722539384 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722543563 2023-09-27 06:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722543563 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722544860 2023-09-27 06:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2722544860 edgarv_515 https://padlet.com/edgarv_515/zghnuii2012jcdgl/wish/2726597712 The poem "I, too, Sing America" was written by Langston Hughes, and in my eyes represents a sense of empowerment and resilience in African American people.
