LINCOLN BROWN: A Letter to My Grandson. “My prayer for you that is that you will rise above the sound, fury, and utter nonsense that is part and parcel of today’s world. My prayer it that you will reject the parasites and sycophants who will tell you that because of your skin color or gender you are guilty of crimes that you never committed or, for that matter, never dreamt of committing. My prayer is that you will not succumb to the voices telling you to destroy yourself for a world that cares nothing for you. My prayer for you is that you will not be led to burn, but to create. My prayer for you is that you will grow up to be an honorable, compassionate, and dignified man.”

This is lovely. Read the whole thing.
