A writer and civil rights activist, James Baldwin garnered much acclaim for his uniquely scholarly yet intimately personal approach to the complexities of race and society in mid-century American culture. In his essay "Letter from a Region in my Mind," Baldwin pulls from his personal experiences, including moments in his youth and his relationship with Christianity, in order to examine the structures and dynamics that formed the foundation for views of race in the United States. Read the material provided and join us for an examination of the author and the essay. Click the link below or come up to the second-floor desk for a hard copy of the essay. Limited to 15 people.
