Of "I, Too," "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "Refugee in America," and "Dream Variations," which poem most clearly expresses pride in being African American?

"I, Too"  clearly expresses pride in being America.

Explanation:

"I too", by Langston Hughes clearly expresses the believe of the African American that he was an integral part of the American Society. In this poem, he acknowledges that even though his white brother relegated him to the kitchen when his friends came over, he would still eat so as to fight the oppression that he was subjected to.

The poem began with the words, "I too sing, America". In referring to the song by Walt Whitman, the poet recognizes the effort of the black man in building the American society and he, therefore, takes pride in his being African American.
