Introducing James Baldwin: Activism, Books, Civil Rights

October 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us at Wimbledon Library this Black History Month for an interactive celebration and introduction of James Baldwin. Baldwin’s literary genius is immortalised in fiction and non-fiction form in books like Go Tell it on the Mountain, Giovanni’s Room, Notes of a Native Son, The Fire Next Time and Amen Corner among others. This presentation will introduce these texts while considering his activism and contribution to the Civil Rights movement. Baldwin was recently commemorated with a Nubian Jak Blue Plaque at the Hackney CVS, the previous site of the CLR James Library which he visited in 1985 boosting local activism.
