Film Screening: I Am Not Your Negro

Description

On the 100th anniversary of James Baldwin’s birth, take advantage of a rare opportunity to watch Raoul Peck’s film based on the final writing project of the American writer and civil rights activist. 

In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House, a revolutionary personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript.  

In 2016, filmmaker, Raoul Peck, envisioned the book James Baldwin never finished in this award-winning documentary, showing how Baldwin’s work and activism continues to resonate.
