A review by lizaroo71
The Evidence of Things Not Seen by James Baldwin

4.0

Baldwin wrote this essay in 1985 in response to serial murders of children in Atlanta, GA. The man arrested is black and there is little to no evidence against him.

What the essay examines is race in America. Much of what Baldwin writes in 1985 is relevant in 2013. His observations on being a minority in America are candid and true.
