So many differences and so many parallels to our day. Wonderful style and poignant call to sacrifice and striving for right.

Worth the quick read. It does lack in acknowledging women, but I suppose that was the era it was in. Very informative and eye opening.

Absolutely loved this book. Baldwin writes very beautifully and powerfully with a painful truth. I have no words to describe this any further.

It has been 57 years since the publication of this book and everything in it is just as relevant and could be speaking to today. He literally has a line about resilience when there are those with their foot on our necks! Wow. I look forward to the day when this would no longer be relevant. I hope that we will see it in my lifetime. As always I love the writing of James Baldwin.
