Answer:

The speaker's ancestors.

The speaker's curls.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Acevedo's poem "Hair" is a powerful poem that delves into the issue of self acceptance and identity. In this poem, the writer narrates how the hair became a piece of personal identity that sets the Latinas apart and how they are expected to try to be like normal people, meaning the white people.

In the given lines, the speaker reveals how they, the speaker and her ancestors, tried hard to find ways to "straighten" their curls and be more like the white people. She also strongly points out the fact that while her ancestors<em> "call[ed] them wild curls, [I] call them breathing"</em>, showing her acceptance of who she really is and letter her natural hair be as it is.

Thus, the "them" in the given lines refer to the ancestors as well as her curls.
