Just Walk on By: Summary Just Walk on By: Black Men and Public Space is an excellent story by Brent Staples who was born in 1951 in Chester, Pennsylvania. The story is narrated from his point of view and takes place in Chicago during Staples’ early adulthood. One of the main messages of the story is the struggle of being stereotyped in America during the late 1960’s. The story goes on to tell a few events from the authors past that reflect how his skin tone has caused some type of stereotype in his life. One excellent example is when Staples is walking behind a well dress white lady in one of the more poor neighborhoods in Chicago.
