The correct answer is A. They demanded that African Americans be treated fairly.

Explanation:

The poem "I, Too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes focuses on explaining the importance of African Americans in the United States as well as pointing out slavery, discrimination and other situations African Americans had been subjected too. In the case of the lines presented "Nobody’ll dare / Say to me, / “Eat in the kitchen,” /Then" this refers to the fact, African Americans were asked to eat at a different room or place than white people, and in this lines the author is claiming his right to eat in the same places than white people which is related to fair and equal treatment that was one fo the main issues during Langston Hughes times. Thus, the change these lines refer to is that African Americans demanded to be treated fairly (Option A).
