Dear Mr. Lewis,

I physically, mentally, nor emotionally put into words the feelings I had when I read another part of your book. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to remain peaceful through all the struggles you and our people faced. It was inspiring reading about Frannie Lou Hamer and learning how a Black woman was an activist who risked her life in hopes of change for out people. Reading about the three volunteers who “went missing” reminded me that the change that you and many others were fighting for 60 years ago was just the beginning. Today we are STILL fighting police brutality as we see our Black brothers and sisters being dehumanized and killed at the hands of corrupt officers because we can seem to make them understand that the color of skin is not a weapon. So what are some possible solutions you ask? Well, I believe with the right education to our Black community, especially the youth, we can rewrite some of the outcomes of police brutality. However the real change needs to be within the corrupt system. In this generation we have the power to use social media for good for a change. We must educate ourselves, unite together and continue to fight for change. 

Sincerely, 

Nia Mack

P.S.: Still have a dream.
