In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
My beloved children from the Spring D High School of Arkansas:
I have received your loving letter and valuable gift. I am aware that the red-Indians and the blacks are facing great suppression and anguish. Islamic teachings do not discriminate between the white, and the red-skinned, or the blacks. That which grants value to a human being is his level of piety [taqwa], good manners, and noble actions. I pray to God Almighty for your success and guidance on the Right Path.
I am sending you beloveds a booklet which has also been gifted to the Iranian children, containing some wise sayings of the Grand Prophet of Islam (s). And I pray for your well-being. I wish you success in acquiring lofty human values.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
