What a beautifully written book. Ta-Nehisi Coates is truly an artist with the written word.

Spoiler

Through this letter to his son, he is ending the cycle of generational trauma. However, there is nothing he can do to end the cycle of racism in America. He, like all Black children, was told by everyone to be twice as good. White children aren't told to be twice as good. In fact, they are told to take twice as much.
