Oh, boy, oh boy! I love summer! I want to run and play and sniff...EVERYTHING!
It's such a nice hot day. The sun is shining. I can feel it on my back, hot, strong. And the water will be so cool and refreshing.
We're going to the river! I'm going swimming! I'm going to chase sticks and paddle through the water like a duck!
Oh, the freedom!
There's a stick. I fetch them so fast. Mommy's so pleased. I'm a good boy.
There's another. It's way out there. Here I go!
Wait. Nope. Can't touch bottom!
Yeah, I don't swim.

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.

Yep, yep, yep. You had me, Misty, at "Boy, oh boy!" You claimed me with, "There's a stick. I fetch them so fast." You slayed me with, "Yeah, I don't swim."
If dogs could talk. 🐶📣
