Phenomenal writing….
So so moving. I’ve read before how this memory means a lot to you, but this story gave much more intimate details about it.
I fell in love with your dad—all that he was for you as a young man…inspiring!

Mike, with your parents as educators abd you following their foot steps—

I hope as a white man you can share this piece as part of a speech to the schools/parents/counties who have banned this book as a CRT teaching book….

What you’ve shared shows how wonderful and powerful this book is and I wish all those parents heard your experience with if: it says it all!!!

Thanks for writing…truly enjoyed it!!
