Prince's Estate Releases a Powerful Handwritten Letter From the Singer About Racial Intolerance

Prince may be gone, but never forgotten.

On Sunday, which would have been his 62nd birthday, the singer's estate shared a handwritten letter he once wrote about racial intolerance. The release of the note comes just a few weeks after the fatal arrest of George Floyd, which has sparked outrage and protests across the country.

"Nothing more ugly in the whole wide world than INTOLERANCE (between) Black, white, red, yellow, boy or girl. INTOLERANCE," Prince's message read.

The caption for the post further explained how Prince "dedicated his life to speaking out against injustice, advocating for black excellence, and spreading the message of 'Love 4 One Another.'"

"In this note that he kept in his personal archives, he wrote a message that still resonates today," the caption continued.
