Answer: A) Draw connections to US cultural heritage.
Step-by-step explanation:
In his poem "I, Too, Sing America", Hughes alludes to Walt Whitman's ideas in his poem, "I Hear America Singing." Whitman argues that people of various professions deserve to be 'free'. He celebrates the cultural diversity present in America. Hughes wants to convey the same idea in "I, Too", but from a different perspective. Through a metaphor, he tries to portray how African American people are treated. He compares a black man to "a dark brother" that needs to sit in the kitchen when the guests come. In his opinion, African Americans also deserve to "sing America" and be an equal part of its society.
