Langston Hughes's poem "I Too" from 1926 Does this poem seem ovewrtly personal, political, or both?

Although of course we cannot confuse the speaker in a poem
with the author, it's not hard to imagine that Hughes draws on his own experience with
racism in Ameria when he speaks of how some Americans are seen as less important, 'the
darker brother,' sent to eat in the kitchen.  The poem feels immensely personal also
because it is set in the home, the kitchen and dining room, the sites of so much family
interaction over meals.  We can assume that Hughes speaks of a political future in
America, when everyone has a place at the table, but the personal takes the primary role
as he concludes, "Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am," thus, perhaps, healing some
small part of the injustices and pain of the past.
