Breathe: A Letter to My Sons by Imani Perry

5.0

"But I do not believe the acts of oppressors are my people’s shame. For me, that my people became, created, and imagined from a position of unfreedom is a source of deep pride, not shame. I hope you learn that too. What better evidence of human beauty and resilience could there be?"

A beautiful, striking, loving, brutal letter from a Black mother to her Black sons on growing up and living in America.
