This book is still so important and relevant today. Decades after it was written, it's sad to see how little has changed. Baldwin's writing is thought provoking and helped me dig deeper into my beliefs and what needs to happen to improve society

this is my introductory baldwin piece and what a wonderful place to start. baldwin’s accounts on race & religion are emotive, existential & unbelievably relevant. now is as essential a time to read this as ever. we must think beyond our understanding, we must fight for community and we must care about each other. there is no two ways about it!
