Through the years，I have witnessed the world’s reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man.In his early years，his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic(有磁性的)．Complete strangers would approach him in the street，draw him into conversation，and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit.Even at that time I worried，how would my son react when in the years to come some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute，intelligent boy，might grasp their purse tighter as he walked by.

　　Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that comes from undeserved hatred.I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life.He knows，for example，that if he is ever pulled over by the police，that he is to keep both hands on the wheel at all times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions.He knows，even in less threatening situations，that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it，than when his white friends display the very same behavior.Still，the truth of the matter is，no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overcomes the physical，immovable fact of the color of his skin.His intelligence，easy smile，and lovable character won’t protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.
