A letter written by my dad in the Chicago Daily News, May 1968. It could have been written in the 2020s.

News clipping: An open letter to white men = That your skin and my own are white is significant only insofar as it is a dismal coincidence. That you are “proud to be white” is but a pathetic confession of your spiritual poverty, made all the more pitiable by your need for public expression of it. That you presume affiliation with me and most other able-minded Americans based on our common lack of skin pigment is perhaps the very nadir of arrogance. Are you indeed white? Congratulations to you. And now will you please step aside while America attends to the urgent business of saving its life? MARTIN M.
