As a kid, I had a really bad stuttering problem. In her trying to help me relax and find something in which I can escape, she introduced me to the writings of Langston Hughes and James Baldwin. I'm glad she did.
Both Hughes and Baldwin were influential African American writers who addressed issues of race, identity, and social justice in their works. It's amazing how literature and reading can have such a profound impact on our lives. Reading can help us expand our perspectives, learn new things, and even provide a sense of comfort and solace during difficult times.
