Baldwin began writing his letter, showing much emphasis on how hard it was for him to write it. I can only imagine how hard it really was to write a powerful letter like that. I read a comment from the article saying that all Black parents should write a letter like this. As much as I hate to admit, I also feel that it’s true. I don’t think it should be just Black parents, I believe every family of color should do it. With what is going on right now in the world, people of color have had it rough for too long. It sucks that they even have to write a letter like this. The letter was written over 50 years ago and it’s still relevant today. Reading a letter like this really shows how messed up the world is. Other than the negatives of the letter, the positives were so beautifully put together. It makes whoever has read the letter proud of the heritage they are a part of. It also shows how far African Americans have come to get the freedom they really deserve. After reading the letter, I got a sense of hope that one day all people will be treated equally and that racism will just be a thing of the past.
