First Draft of Author's note
America, Most describe it as the land of the free, where whatever
religion you had it didn't matter. Did this apply to everyone? no, African
Americans who were first brought to America in colonial times were slaves
striped their freedom and religions they had since they had to convert to
Christianity or they were considered people that are to look down upon.
If America was the "land of the free" why have the Africans and other
races at the time were forced into being an American. The mistreating of
African Americans stretched far from the early days of America till now and
probably even into the future. The problem is that it is a belief that someone
can judge a person by their color,religion, and race and say that all people of
the same race,color, or religion is this type of person. This belief is stamped
so hard into some people's mind that racism will never fade away or solved.
This issue although could be stopped over time. This book is dedicated to
giving young children so that they know that racism is wrong since when a
child is young their minds are easily acceptable to change unlike older people
who can not change that easily. This book can be a first step to solve racism
so that in the future people, like the African Americans who were
discriminated all over history could finally feel like they were free from
the bonds of discrimination which gave them so much disadvantages.
