I can’t get this image (of a 17 year-old Linda Goode Bryant finding a newly published copy of Frantz Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks” during a school trip to New York in April 1967 & ending a letter to her parents back in Columbus, Ohio by writing that if she were to just eat one meal a day she’d be able to buy it) out of my head.
Linda Goode Bryant ‘Letter to Her Parents’ published in We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women 1965-85 – A Sourcebook, pp. 139-143.
