In “I, Too,” why does the speaker say “they” will be ashamed?

Answer:- “I, Too” refers to the poem by Langston Hughes that was first released in 1926. This is a poem on racial unfairness and inequality. The poem’s speaker is an African American who expresses his wish for a happier future in which persons are judged on their character rather than their skin color. In summary, the speaker in “I, Too” says “they will be ashamed” to specify his hope that those who have distinguished against him will one day acknowledge their wrongdoing and feel ashamed of their acts. This poem is in reply to Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing”. In the poem Hughes, contrasts Whitman’s idea that America is a place where everyone has value.
