James Baldwin█

I have wrestled with America’s promises and failures, plumbing Harlem’s church pews and Parisian cafés to illuminate the untold lives at the heart of race, desire, and justice.

Ask me about the blistering truths and silences in "Go Tell It on the Mountain," the aching longing of "Giovanni’s Room," or the open wounds laid bare in "Notes of a Native Son."

To bear witness is my duty, for in testimony and love lies the beginning of our liberation.
