In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, to be called Remember This House. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends — Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. But at the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of his manuscript.
Join Annie Weatherby-Flowers and local TV and radio personalities Deana Wright and Angela Fitzgerald for a screening and panel discussion of “I Am Not Your Negro.”
The screening is free and open to the public.
