How does Langston Hughes use the speaker to represent the strength of black Americans on his "I , Too" poem?

English
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

The speaker is resilient and convinced that he is also an American, even though everyone around him tries to stop him from being.

Explanation:

The "I, Too" speaker represents the resilience of black Americans to remain convinced of their citizenship and rights within American society. In this way, the poet uses a speaker who refuses to succumb to the commands of the dominant members of society, who want at any cost to prevent him from being an active and important member of society. The speaker claims, that even though these people put him down, limit him, hide him and sadden him, he also represents America, being as important as any other member. In this case, the poet shows how the black population in America was limited and fought, but remained resilient and aware of their value and importance, as they were also Americans.
