James Baldwin -- I Am Not Your Negro -- Makes The Call. How Will We Answer?

Just as African American literature is American literature, James Baldwin is an American literary treasure.

James Baldwin, a great teacherly writer, melds a poetry and politics of American history.

Thank you, James Baldwin, for your call to us; and thank you, Samuel L. Jackson and Raoul Peck, for your powerful response.

May we all learn.
