The Fire Next Time
by James Baldwin
Highly recommend for all, should be required reading for high schoolers in the US.
A poignant reflection on James Baldwin's childhhood in Harlem and a stark portrayal of the repercussions of racial inequity. The author composes two impassioned "letters" penned during the Emancipation Proclamation's 100 year anniversary, urging both Black and white Americans to confront the enduring impact of racism. A blend of sermon, challenges, personal revelation, legal testimony, statement of belief, and historical narrative. The Fire Next Time is a timeless masterpiece in American literature.
