James Baldwin's America

I Am Not Your Negro


Listen Later

Jesse talks about where he's been the last month and the profound impact the events he's dealt with have had on him. He also reviews Raoul Peck's 2016 documentary on James Baldwin, "I Am Not Your Negro". So many similarities exist between the current Black Lives Matter movement and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Yet there are key differences that may make what's happening in America now stronger in the long run. Baldwin foretold of so much that is happening to those involved with Black Lives Matter and his solution to solving race relations in America is the same now as it was in the 1960s.
