    Wonderful. My emotions were great happiness for the musical experience and sadness for Mr. Pratt and those who, like him, have had experiences of racism. Thank you.

      Amazing educational enlightenment. Thank you, Professor Pratt. I hope to find opportunities to help end the era of DWB and other evidences of racial prejudice in America. Thank you too for your beautiful piano playing!

    I have been moved so much by this cogent explanation of the disadvantages of having black skin that I plan to share with everyone I know. Too bad my mind didn’t need changing. Still, I have joined the effort to make a difference.
