Answer 1

Answer:

D. Racial prejudice is disgraceful and will dissolve in favor of equality.

Explanation:

The poem "I, Too" has been written by the poet Langston Hughes. The poem presents the picture of an African American and his experience of racism. The racial prejudice has been displayed through the imagery of white people denying the rights of the Blacks of their basic rights. The poet here expresses his patriotic feelings to be same as that of a White. The poet assures that some day in the future, every citizen would acknowledge the Blacks to be equally important.
