I think James Baldwin is saying that everyone should know the truth of the world, this is the information that everyone must know. History, the status of the world, as the cause of the status. If a person has not grown up, thinking is not mature, no decision-making ability. Then he must know the truest history and truth. Because he is not really a complete person. No one can deny the chance of a person to realizing the world before the person completes his mind. The person must make the decision after he becomes independent. Why does it so important? Because what knowledge you have decided what type of person you become. And what person you become to decide what decision you make. There is a sequence. Sometimes we can only see what they want us to see, know what they want us to know. That why he said, “the world is larger”. The world is always larger than what we see. Like what he mentioned in the article, children are taught about race from an early age, and they can’t even wake up. This is why we yearn for the truest, most complete historical truth. That’s why we have to have our own judgment. We curious about the world, we examine the world, and finally we can break through the mist out of the world. Some people think that ignorance is also a kind of happiness, no matter what happens outside has nothing to do with me. So they don’t let the children know too much about the world. But it’s like you’re making a decision for him. It wasn’t his decision because he was too young. What do you wish had been taught to you in school that wasn’t? Must be the truth of the world, necessity and obligation. With no doubting.
