James Baldwin Reappeared Just When We Needed Him Most
by Saeed Jones
We are studying James Baldwin in 2014, the Year of Baldwin, the year he would have turned 90 years old. Recently a collection of his poems was published, and Saeed Jones discusses this in his NPR blog post linked above. Today our lives are rushed and busy, and we often neglect to take the time to think about who we are and what our place is. The year of Baldwin has perhaps come just when we need it most, as a society, and as a group of students. Baldwin's work inspires us to ask questions, to start conversations and to grow as individuals.
