Dear Mr. James Baldwin, My name is Milner Benedict III, and I say an honest "Thanks" to you for leaving our communities with the genuine written record of your Intelligence, Knowledge, and Wisdom - I am a better human being because of you and your dedicated life works. With appreciation to Sir James Baldwin on Saturday, August 6, 2022
Abraham Lincoln used to walk miles to borrow a book, Malcolm X transcribed the dictionary while he was in prison. All it takes to become an intellectual is curiosity and drive. The internet with it's nearly infinite information at our fingertips. To educate one's self requires no money just desire.
I assume then that you watched this video for a school assignment. I hope you can look past the fact that you did it for a teacher and come to know and appreciate Baldwin much better as time goes by. He was one of the mid century's great geniuses.
Why is he so underrated? James Balwin's legacy should not be forgotten!
It’s too much truth

They need to make a movie about his life. Unless I've been under a rock and they already have.

I've always wished I was an intellectual like James Baldwin or Malcolm X.
Abraham Lincoln used to walk miles to borrow a book, Malcolm X transcribed the dictionary while he was in prison. All it takes to become an intellectual is curiosity and drive. The internet with it's nearly infinite information at our fingertips. To educate one's self requires no money just desire.
You are🙏🏾
Me too
Visit your local library. Educate yourself, knowledge, wisdom are not taught in schools.
If you understand what that means then you can be, and if you listen to all his lectures he had to choose to be.
November 2021: It’s a short biography but enough to wet one’s appetite to know him more, and read his books.
I adore him for the way he portraid real characters with fictional characters💯💯💕💕
Thank you for this video, doing a school presentation and paper on him
Wow. A man's whole life summed up in four minutes. Talk about being damned with faint praise. He deserves better.
James is known in south africa
What a fantastic intellectual. A real pleasure to hear, in a world of shallow and insulting facebook posts.

@@MrUndersolo I love his essays the most.
I was afforded the opportunity to attend his service at The Cathedral Church of St. John Devine, when I was a Stone Cutter. Rest in Paradise, JB.
