Problem: In Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. DuBois explains the concept of "double consciousness, saying, "One ever feels his twoness,--an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideas in one dark body . . . . The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife." Explain how we see this concept of double-consciousness in Langston Hughes' poem "I, Too, Sing America" (the poem that starts "I am the darker brother. / They send me to eat in the kitchen / when company comes").
