We are writing in regard to a letter to the editor in the last Rehoboth Reporter by Chris Andrade about his experiences with racism as a child growing up in the area and as an adult raising kids of his own. We wanted to say thank for you for a beautiful letter that aimed to enlighten people about the often invisible but insidious effects of racism. We did not grow up here but have lived in Rehoboth for nearly 7 years. We are grateful to live in a town with neighbors like Mr. Andrade, who are obviously kind, ethical, and committed to social justice. We hope other residents heard him and appreciated his non-accusatory but honest descriptions of his experience and will take his message to heart. The fight against racism is going to take all us to be successful. It will also take the type of courage Mr. Andrade displayed by submitting his heartfelt letter to us all.

So, thank you and know that there are many of us in solidarity with you.

Sincerely,
Gail Sahar and Jean-Luc Solère
Rehoboth
