When people think of James Baldwin, they think of Go Tell It On The Mountain, The Fire Next Time, or Giovanni’s Room.

They might think of his articles for The New Yorker. They wouldn’t readily think of him as a documentarian. He was that too!

Here he is, in Oakland, in 1963. How much have things changed since?

Not a whole lot.

YouTube takes down videos on occasion and I have no way of knowing. Should a link not work, please let me know. Thank you.
