Author James Baldwin before he wrote If Beale Street Could Talk, 1968

The pain is never articulated better than Baldwin, what more glorious a legacy than that for a human, yet less writer.

Its frustrating how much of this is still unchanged 50 years later.

Osiris Malkovich it will never change 🐽🐷🐖

Such a Beautiful Book! ♥️

I didn't realize that story was written by James Baldwin. I'm sad that I didn't learn about the man until my late 20s. He wasn't really inspiring or theatrical, just honest and eloquent.

He didn't escalate the war he fought against it

I understand his frustration 🤦🏾‍♂️

No one wanted to listen to him. My heart breaks for his frustrations.
