Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin

The essay Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin. Baldwin relate the story of his relationship with his father to the story of the relationship between black and white America to cover the helplessness of African people in order to make them more like white people and therefore, more worthy of redemption. While not having that close relationship with his father at a young age, the author compares his father to the era of discrimination between whites and blacks. The author gives me the reader a thoughtful commentary on the social environment in the era of the Civil Rights Movement.

This essay by Baldwin I could not relate too because of the era that he was in and the era that I am in. Through the eyes and mind of Baldwin the essay had great comparisons between racial discrimination and his father.
