Answer: "Encouraged African Americans to feel powerful".

In the rest of the poem, the poet says:

"Tomorrow,

I'll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody'll dare

Say to me,

"Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.

Besides,

They'll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed-

I, too, am America."

Explanation: He tells that in the future he, too, will sit at the table, because he is no different than the other americans. The "he" of the poem refers to every african amerian, while the table refers to USA and the visitors the americans who are not africans. The poem encourage the african americans to whitstand the pain to be treated unjustly (eat in the kitchen), because they'll be recognized as legit american citizens worth of respect, and when that happens, those who treated them badly will feel ashamed, because they treated America badly.
