Open Letters to Amercia
How does one get a message out these days? … one of the many comments on Kevin Powell’s Open Letter to Chris Brown dated March 24, 2011 at 12:30 am, said “I just want to say, I hope you actually do meet him and talk to him. Because from what I understand of young people today, he isn’t reading anything longer than four lines.”
At over four full pages… this letter is considered and written from the heart… and is not only a cry out to twitterers, bloggers, and a society that feels uncomfortable with reading more than a few lines on a PDA … nor is it directed exclusively at Chris Brown, young rappers or famous celebrities who are having difficulties coping with media attention… it is an eloquent essay depicting the state of American society, which one might add, is not a societal trait peculiar exclusively to the USA!
The media, and those working in it have a responsibility to keep writing, filming and broadcasting widely… and throughout all of humanity… “The Truth Shall Set You Free”.
