Before he died in 1987, James Baldwin was one of the most sought after speakers
of his time. His books “Go Tell it On the Mountain,” ”The Fire Next Time,” “If
Beal St. Could Talk,” and countless articles won him critical acclaim around the
world, but it was his take on American racism and the Civil Rights movement that set him apart from his contemporaries.
He’s been away for awhile, but now he’s back to deliver a message and reintroduce himself.
Join us at Robins Bookstore, 110A S. 13th Street, Philadelphia on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 7pm for a reading of the play: “Hello, America…my name is Jimmy Baldwin”, written by Delaware Valley playwright, Robert H. Miller, Ph.D. and directed by Donovan Hagins.
Featuring:
Frantz T. Excellent and Carla P. Morales
Though James Baldwin never really left us has been brought to life brilliantly, breathing fire and brimstone, speaking of course truth to power, realizing once again his bitter-sweet responsibilty writing of us in human terms.
