Dear Eldridge Cleaver,
The first time I started to read your book on the first and my thought was "OH MY GOD IS THIS BOOK GOING TO BE BORING UNTIL THE LAST PAGE".
Then, i thought to myself just give it a try. So, as i was reading a couple of pages in the book i found it to be really interesting and my favorite part would be how they were treating you in jail. My questions would be why did they do that in the 20th century? Did they get a kick out of it? Why did they rip that picture of yours that was on the wall? How come they shot that young man that was talking to that white lady? So, as you can see this book is so far reaching the stats on dicrimnation.
