QUESTIONS: What do you think prompted James Baldwin to write this letter to his nephew, apart from the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation? Does this seem like a real personal letter that he later decided to publish, or do you think it was written with a wider audience than just his nephew in mind? What do you think Baldwin means that his father (his nephew’s grandfather) became “so holy” partly because he believed what white people said about him (p. 4)? Does Baldwin admire “holiness”? What does Baldwin mean by the “innocence” that is the “crime” of his countrymen (pp. 5-6)? In what sense are “acceptance” and “integration” the only hope for these people (p. 8)? In what sense are they not yet free (p. 10)?
