"私もアメリカを歌う"
— Langston Hughes
Simplified Meaning:
The phrase is about expressing that everyone has a voice and a place in the country, even if they are often overlooked or treated unfairly. Imagine a big choir where everyone should sing, but some people are told to keep quiet just because of who they are. This person is saying that they will still sing proudly, even if others try to silence them. It's like standing up and saying, "I belong here just as much as anyone else." For example, think about how women had to fight for the right to vote. Even when they were told their voices didn't matter, they kept speaking up and eventually changed the law. The phrase means everyone deserves to be heard and valued. You can apply this to your life by not letting others tell you that you don't matter. Speak up, be proud of who you are, and remember that your voice is important too.
