Read this excerpt from James Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son":
The day of my father's funeral had also been my
nineteenth birthday. As we drove him to the graveyard, the
spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all
around us. It seemed to me that God himself had devised,
to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally
dissonant of codas. And it seemed to me, too, that the
violence which rose all about us as my father left the world
had been devised as a corrective for the pride of his eldest
son.
