'He had come a long way. He had won great battles as a writer, and he was still fighting.
But the society he had hoped to change remained hopelessly at war with itself.'- David Leeming, Baldwin's only official biographer, and dearest friend

We invite you to join us on the 18th of April for an unforgettable cinematic journey into the heart, mind and timeless brilliance of James Baldwin, one of America's greatest literary voices, at the Cheuse Center's Baldwin-100 film screening event!
