A SUMMARY OF THE PASSAGE A TALK TO TEACHERS  

James Baldwin’s essay, ”A Talk to Teachers”(1963), argues that in order to meaningfully address the problem of racism in America students have to gain a greater consciousness and fight for equality. Baldwin backs  this claim up with descriptions of his personal experience as well as evidence from history. Baldwin’s purpose is to inform the reader about the system in America that works against or works to opress people of color in order to create a system of equality. Given the title and his references to being in the classroom, Baldwin is writing to teachers, to the young people, students,  and parents who need to be  create their own identity.

the great thing about your imagination is that it doesn't have to make sense! if i were you i would be stuck in space, no communication with earth travelling around and around, you can only guess how long its been since your communication broke down. you land on an undiscovered planet, you do a scientific investigation examining the elements and conditions. you come across alien lifeforms.  

best of luck!
