Baldwin's life and legacy as remembered by a pantheon of artists and writers: from Jamaica Kincaid and Barry Jenkins to Richard Avedon and Alice Neel

A Collective Portrait of James Baldwin

God Made my Face

I saw this book while peeking into a bookstore in NYC, saw it was over 70 dollars (?), and immediately requested my University to buy it. Luckily they did, and boy did this book make me cry. You truly never think about the impact you have on people in your personal life when you don't think all that highly of yourself or your art, but memories never fade. We are so lucky to live in a world where we have the privilege to not only record our personal sentiments but be allowed to read about others. I absolutely cried several times reading this in public, and I wouldn't take it back.
