Read and Response

Please read the following quote.  “It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate.” –James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1962). Then write a Response as follows: In your first paragraph, tell us the author, where the quote is from, and in your own words what you think the author is trying to tell us. Then in a separate paragraph write a personal response in your own words of 4 or 5 complete sentences telling us what this means to you.
