Why is he so underrated? James Balwin's legacy should not be forgotten!

[@t.r.scudder4611]

It’s too much truth

[@thehighlanderjedi]

Dear Mr. James Baldwin, My name is Milner Benedict III, and I say an honest "Thanks" to you for leaving our communities with the genuine written record of your Intelligence, Knowledge, and Wisdom - I am a better human being because of you and your dedicated life works. With appreciation to Sir James Baldwin on Saturday, August 6, 2022

I’m making it a personal goal to read and comprehend every book James Baldwin has written. Wish me luck!

[@christopherayettey4390]

It won't help you in life... Trust me

[@fauresfaures4314]

good luck

[@ginacoleman788]

I read The Fire Next Time. It wasn't an easy read.

[@ratgirl13]

November 2021: It’s a short biography but enough to wet one’s appetite to know him more, and read his books.

[@cindy9593]

I LOVE James Balwin.

[@diamondunicorn2421]

They need to make a movie about his life. Unless I've been under a rock and they already have.

James Baldwin legacy lives on.

Thank you for this video, doing a school presentation and paper on him

I've always wished I was an intellectual like James Baldwin or Malcolm X.

[@joeyfitz9]

Abraham Lincoln used to walk miles to borrow a book, Malcolm X transcribed the dictionary while he was in prison. All it takes to become an intellectual is curiosity and drive. The internet with it's nearly infinite information at our fingertips. To educate one's self requires no money just desire.

[@callmecarmella]

You are🙏🏾

[@mrmister1657]

Me too

[@arricammarques1955]

Visit your local library. Educate yourself, knowledge, wisdom are not taught in schools.

[@timfitzgerald9526]

If you understand what that means then you can be, and if you listen to all his lectures he had to choose to be.

[@blueskye6372]

Wonderful and blessed talented author. Rest in Paradise James. 🙏✌❤

[@RedStretchLimo]

Wow. A man's whole life summed up in four minutes. Talk about being damned with faint praise. He deserves better.

[@tanyapeterson667]

[@ninarossthequeen]

Vera mickey blessings to your soul.. hope you find truth love life and purpose

[@EyeLean5280]

I assume then that you watched this video for a school assignment. I hope you can look past the fact that you did it for a teacher and come to know and appreciate Baldwin much better as time goes by. He was one of the mid century's great geniuses.
