Read the lines from langston hughes’s poem "i, too, sing america." but i laugh, and eat well, and grow strong. the lines promoted cultural change in the united states in the mid-1900s because they showed that african americans were a growing population. encouraged african americans to feel powerful. showed that african americans can have a sense of humor. demonstrated that african americans can enjoy life.

 "Encouraged African Americans to feel powerful".

In the rest of the poem, the poet says:

"Tomorrow,

I’ll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody’ll dare

Say to me,

“Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.

Besides,  

They’ll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed—

I, too, am America."

Explanation: He tells that in the future he, too, will sit at the table, because he is no different than the other americans. The "he" of the poem refers to every african amerian, while the table refers to USA and the visitors the americans who are not africans. The poem encourage the african americans to whitstand the pain to be treated unjustly (eat in the kitchen), because they'll be recognized as legit american citizens worth of respect, and when that happens, those who treated them badly will feel ashamed, because they treated America badly.

Lanston Hughes was a poet who lived in XX century. He wrote the poem "I, too" in 1932.

On edge 2020

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
