Dear Kirk Family,

I want to begin by offering my condolences. I know nothing I write can ease the pain of your loss, but I wish peace and comfort for you in this time.

I recently finished a book titled The Assassination of Charlie Kirk. While Charlie and I did not share the same opinions—and at times, I felt his words were harmful toward people like me—I still recognize the impact he had on the world and on the people who followed him. His life and death stirred something in me that I felt I had to write about.

This book is not written in hate, but in witness. It reflects on what happens when voices collide, when ideas divide, and when a life that moved so many ends so suddenly. My goal is not to diminish Charlie, but to create space for reflection about the times we are living in and what they are doing to all of us.

I understand that my perspective may be different, but I hope you can see that I wrote with seriousness, not malice. His story is part of our story, whether we agreed with him or not.

With respect,

Antonio Evans
