James Baldwin makes some compelling arguments about how American society is sustained and the place of education in maintaining a racial and classist status quo but also our responsibility to challenge societal expectations. Using examples from his essay, write a letter addressed to James Baldwin; his essay was originally written back in 1963 but unfortunately many points he makes are still very relevant today. Pick a couple of these points to focus on in your letter.

Hey everyone,
Remember that your educational narrative final drafts are due in the Portfolio and Reflection tab before our class tomorrow Tuesday 9/28. I hope to accomplish going over them with you and doing a little bit of a grading workshop in class together.
Please ignore the assigned reading on the schedule for tomorrow. I’m going to be making some changes to how this openlab course will be run because it seems that we are running into frequent obstacles that are out of our control. I will talk with you more about this in class tomorrow!
Best wishes,
Professor LaTourette
