Answer 2

The correct answer is option B)because they realize that the person they dismissed is actually beautiful.

Step-by-step explanation:

This poem written by Langston Hughes relates the treatment that African Americans received in the past. They were not allowed to sit at the table with white Americans, or deal with them, as if they were not part of America.

In the lines of this poem the protagonist claims that when these people really realize that what they are doing is wrong and unfair, they will feel ashamed, because once they meet these people they will realize that they are beautiful people and that they are part of the nation like any other.
