A Postcard to the World: Black People Are Not Apes
We, the Black people, are not apes. We are part of the human race.
The pigment of our skin should not matter, but it does for so many, even for the people
who say they’re colorblind or see no color. There is no way to be neutral when people
are being characterized as apes.

had already been written.
I was meant to be a brother.
I was supposed to be their protector.
