A conversation to commemorate 100 years of James Baldwin’s writing and ideas
On August 2nd 1924, thinker, writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin was born in Harlem, New York. His work touches on many topics that have a deep relevance to today and New York City: civil and human rights, police violence, racism, poverty, masculinity, gender, and queerness. These topics, his personal narrative style and the general courage of his work, render his writing timeless. We ask ourselves: “What can Baldwin’s legacy tell us about society then, now and how what he would say about New York 100 years later.”
Join RLS and the Goethe Institute for a conversation featuring, René Aguigah, Tracyann Williams, Richard Blint, moderated by Julia Foulkes.
WHEN: Tuesday, November 19, 6:30 – 9pm
WHERE: Goethe-Institut New York, 30 Irving Place New York, NY 10003
