This poem is in response to Whitman's "I Hear America Singing". In the poem Hughes, contrasts Whitman's idea that America is a place where everyone has value. However, Hughes does not see the same America as Whitman. People of his race are constantly tossed aside and banished to back rooms. They are not valued or respected. He tells the audience that "they" meaning the white people will be ashamed when they learn all that the African Americans have to offer the world.
In 'I, Too,' the speaker foresees that 'they' will feel shame for excluding and discriminating against him as his intrinsic value to the nation is eventually recognized.
