America "blends the poetic wisdom of Langston Hughes with visionary

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."

authentic call for equality still rings true today. Beautiful
paintings from Barack Obama illustrator Bryan Collier accompany and
reinvent the celebrated lines of the poem "I, Too," creating a
breathtaking reminder to all Americans that we are united despite
our differences.
