There are 4 overall reasons why I believe you are correct.

1) The poem of Langston Hughes is clearly about African Americans as seen in the second verse:
"I am the darker brother."

2) They were mistreated during the time:
"They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,"

3) The reason I agree with your answer is that towards the end of the poem Hughes starts talking about how the "darker brother" will be able to sit alongside 'them'
"Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.

4) At the end of the poem he clearly states that they will be ashamed, so yes, your answer is A.
"And be ashamed—"

Answer:

A. White people will be ashamed of how they've treated African Americans.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes was an African American poet, novelist and columnist. He is best known for his connection to the Harlem Renaissance, of which he was one of his promoters.

Although Langston Hughes achieved fame as a poet of the Harlem Renaissance, the breadth of his work should not be restricted to this period or this genre, although there is no doubt about the importance it had in shaping it. In addition to being a poet, he was a novelist, columnist, theater writer and essayist, and although his theme is heavily influenced by Harlem, the experience of his travels is also one of the sources of his style.

One of the most relevant characteristics of the Harlem Renaissance (in its later influence) is the imitation of the jazz sounds and improvisations in the poetry Jazz poetry, like the syncopated rhythms. The pioneers in adapting the rhythms of jazz and refrains to poetry were Carl Dunbar and Langston Hughes, both very involved in the extension of racial pride and the preservation of the African-American tradition. They began to study how to add to poetry rhythms of jazz, blues and other types of African-American music, such as the spiritual song. They sought with this to give a distinctive form to their poetry, composing poems like Weary Man Blues (the blues of the tired man), that adapt rhythm, terminology and musical theme.

Jazz poetry resurfaced two decades later with the beat generation, and contemporarily in rap music, which also makes use of these syncopated rhythms.
