It also had me thinking about what's currently happening in Palestine, and it made me question methods or ways that I or individuals of present day could organize to come up with ways for there to be a better present and future for all people. Baldwin has a strong sense of his place in society, particularly as a black man but also he has a strong sense of himself when it comes to how he dealt with the racism, but also how he saw other individuals made the white people and for him to have this level of perspective and objectivity against The singular ideas, a lot of the activist from that time had I was very very memorable and Inspiring.
His words are thought-provoking, but not in a way that it's fear, mongering or forceful persuasion to Annette violence or fictitious retaliation; I know there's a lot of people today, who would not have such a level head when dealing with the oppression and belittle, mints, and treatment of the African-American people, and the global minority when it comes to the white extremist community who can be vile, crude and dismissive.
This might be my first Baldwin read; I wish to read more of this Works and I want to re-read this book because there were several quotes that I enjoyed and that's stuck with me while I was listening to this audiobook. This is definitely a book that needs to go on my forever reread list.

You were not expected to aspire to excellence: you were expected to make peace with mediocrity.
For the horrors of the American Negro’s life there has been almost no language.
Beautiful. Stunning. I wish the pacing was the same between the letter and the essay, but you need to sit with both texts to truly hear Baldwin. I loved this read and highlighted so much.
The Black American experience through the eyes of Baldwin is just irreplaceable.
