Jewell Parker Rhodes’ Black Brother, Black Brother (2020) - Imagined Letters

After reading Jewell Parker Rhodes’ Black Brother, Black Brother (2020), I wondered what journey Alan would go on, and what he would make of the rise of Donte Ellison.

Could Alan grow, as a person, in ways the Coach Jones' racist tormentor, Jonathan Michael, had been unable to?


Why might Alan be able to change, in 2019, when Jonathan Michael had been unable to, even after all these decades later?


If Alan was able to grow and change, what might he say, in a letter to Donte?

What might Donte say in reply?
