James Baldwin (1924-1987) was a great writer. The treatment of his novel Go Tell It On the Mountain at my high school opened my eyes to the favoritism of white art and white history in the school. He used his talents to support the civil rights movement, penning several essays and novels that are ripe with insightful quotes. #blackhistorymonth2019 #blackhistory #jamesbaldwin #blackwriters
