Born in 1924, in Harlem, Baldwin spent much of his life abroad, and in these three short films \u2014 made in Istanbul, Paris, and London (with Dick Gregory) \u2014 he can be charming, candid, churlish, witty, and acerbic. Whether ruminating on his own \u201cAmerican-ness,\u201d his experience as a child-minister, Black Power, or the nature of love and sexuality, creativity, freedom, and survival \u2014 his unsparing opinions are never less than eye-opening, and his onscreen presence never less than riveting. All three films included in this program have been recently restored.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><em>Cosponsored by ColorLit<\/em><\/div>\n<div>https:\/\/www.colorlituwm.com\/home<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Event | Free For Everyone!
