He has a fresh set of eyes for the world around him, and he begins to notice the way his classmates treat people of color. Stone wastes no time plunging into the meat of “Dear Martin” in the first chapter, Justyce is arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and the readers are quickly shown the injustices of the law. Specifically, Stone explores topics such as microaggression as we watch Justyce’s classmates make racial jokes and accuse him of being “too sensitive” white privilege, systemic racism, and white fragility all while racial profiling and the need for affirmative action are questioned by everyone.
“Dear Martin” is a first-person perspective about what it means to be a young African American in today’s era.
