    The Beginning or the End of America

    During Black History Month we share a letter written by James Baldwin, one of the foremost novelists and public intellectuals of the 20th century. In 1970 Baldwin wrote an open letter to the then imprisoned Communist Party activist Angela Davis expressing his solidarity, and reflecting on racism and Black radicalism in America. This letter, reproduced below, also features in If They Come in the Morning…, a collection of classic writings on race edited by Angela Davis.
