To: Princeton Board of Admissions Entry Essay – Personal History of Racism in America Malachi Holder Speaking about my own history on a topic such as this, racism, is eating the elephant to say the least. Without a doubt it made me think, and deeper than I though I would. Being a straight, white male, I may not have have the proper insight to really dig into the topic, the learned experience, so-to-say, to really offer valuable input or analysis.

It has certainly effected and molded my life, flavored my likes, language, choices, and friends. It also imbued me with intense guilt, especially throughout childhood.
