I, too. By Langston Hugues

The title gives the idea of the inclusion of someone who is or feels excluded.

The poem is  arranged into two stanzas, the first one is shorter than the second is longer. In the first stanza the present is used, the speaker sings America in a sad situation, in the second stanza he uses the future to express a personal hope and desire. We understand that there is a change of time because the first word is tomorrow.
In the two stanzas there are some repetitions, such as when company comes, eat in the kitchen, but in different situations of inclusion. The first and the last lines are almost equal, with only a change: Sing becomes am. The language is not refined as you can see by the use of contracted forms and common words.
In the poem a black man speaks of his situation of exclusion which the black people must tolerate in America. He, like all his similar race, could not have the same rights of the whites.

In his time he accepts that and is cheer. "I grow old," he says and dreams of a possible change of America giving all human beings the same rights.
Educating people to accept and respect all  others is necessary to join  people of different conditions.

I know this great injustice very well many times someone has offended me or has given me less chances.
