Read the excerpt from Notes of a Native Son. In that year I had had time to become aware of the meaning of all my father's bitter warnings, had discovered
the secret of his proudly pursed lips and rigid carriage:I had discovered the weight of white people in the

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":
