American poem introductory paragraph

In the poem "I, too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes, the tones in the poem are joyless and optimism. The character of the poem is unhappy about the treatment he receives because of his skin color. The family he lives with reject him when someone comes to their house. They make him eat by himself in the kitchen. As he is sent away he knows one day equality will be in America. He knows that one day the color of his skin will mean nothing, and that he can eat in the kitchen when ever he wants.
