From what I read on James Baldwin text “A talk to teachers” I saw how James is encouraging everyone to be become more curious and aware so they see what the truth story of the world, he shows this message by explaining how they are many information we don’t actually know about our past because either we are not told about it or the government tries to hide it by not allowing schools to teach us about the sad and painful truth that our ancestor passed by, so by us being curious and looking for more about our past like looking through website that talk about the story of our ancestors the way it is without any hold backs or to ask people that lives through that period of time like our grandparents or elderly people we know, so with that information we could see the truth and understand what people went through so you didn’t have to experience what they experienced, the author in the text also mentions of how education system fails us students because they don’t show the full display of how the story is and they just decide to teach students a small fraction of the story and mentions of the school system just prepares to be controlled by society, which you shouldn’t allow and you should find your inner self and figure out on what you believe and what identifies you as a person and be what you are, not just a calm and boring person the government wants you to become, this text is in its entirety very powerful and truthful because it connects with you by opening new ideas and influences you to be someone you want to be and helps you understand that is ok to question everything because it would full you with curiosity and knowledge that would help you develop your character as a person.

I like how you said that there is a lot of information about our past that is being hidden from us which is why we should be curious, to find out what really happened.
