I, Too, sing America

Poetry was written to commemorate African-American struggle to prove that they are also Americans. Their skin color makes them less citizens than white people. He sings the United States as everyone else sings the national anthem; pride and patriotism. Hughes wants to show that the color of the skin does not affect his self esteem or love for his country.

The scholars believe that this title has been inspired by a song that praises Whitman 's "Working Class" that heard American songs.

The whole poet's tone is changing. In the first line, the tone is patriotic. The line "I also sing America" ​​represents the national anthem and symbolizes the unification of the whole country. In the next section, the tone is anger and power. The man was angry with his treatment, but he knew that he had enough power to fight back. This is shown in a line with "to laugh, eat well, and get stronger". The tones in the next section are warnings and cautions. The man warned people that he would become strong and that no one would try to hurt him in the future. And in the next section the pitch changes again. That man is gentle and proud. One day, "I can feel my beauty and embarrassment." In the last line, Tone is patriotic again.
