Read the stanza from Langston Hughes's poem "I, Too, Sing America."I am the darker brother.They send me to eat in the kitchenWhen company comes,But I laugh,And eat well,And grow strong.

The speaker says, “I am the darker brother,” so “I” refers to the person speaking in the poem. The poem’s speaker—not the speaker’s brother, the company, or the kitchen—is the one who is sent to eat in the kitchen.
