When James Baldwin Went South

Subject

Civil Rights; James Baldwin; The New Yorker

Description

In 1979, James Baldwin approached The New Yorker with an idea for an extended essay: he would travel to the cities in the South that were central to the civil-rights struggle—Selma, Birmingham, Atlanta, and elsewhere—and consider what the fallen heroes of the movement, including Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X, would make of the world that had and hadn’t emerged after their deaths.
