Greeting Letter

“Dear reader”, you will find these words at the top of every post on this blog. This blog, filled with letters I have written in the hopes that I can make you see the truth about our world and my place in it. I chose to write this blog, formatted as letters, because of the impact letters have had on our country’s history. 

Letters like the ones written by Silence Dogood, Martin Luther King Junior and Abraham Lincoln. Though I do not claim half the intellect or prose these great figures had, I readily claim similar urgency in my message. It is crucial for you to understand, I do not write these letters to cause further divisions. Rather I write these letters to you in the hope that you will seek justice and unity. I do not urge you to steal the just rights of one man in order to give another man the rights he demands. These are the solutions of fools.

I urge you to seek justice for all. If you agree with someone, fight for justice. If you disagree with someone, fight for justice. Personal opinion has no place in the conversation of justice. If it is morally sound, if it gives equal rights, if it offers no harm or segregation, let it be done for the sake of justice. I write to you, desperate for your mercy. I am old and tired, I am ready to rest peacefully, knowing you have learned from the history which I helped shape. You have provided my life-support all these years, you have kept me alive but now I beg of you, let me breathe my last breath.

Throughout this blog, which I earnestly hope is my last work, I will tell of my history and my present existence. I will tell stories of the lives I have impacted, every story is true and haunts my mind constantly. I hope that you remember me, dear reader, though I do not ask you to remember me fondly. I ask that you tell your children about me, ensure that they do not try to summon me from my peaceful grave. I hope that, by the time you read the final letter, you will understand why I am asking these things of you. 

Sincerely,

INJUSTICE
