James Baldwin, in his own words, on his birthday. "You invented the nigger. I am not a nigger. The nigger is you."pic.twitter.com/z9UPwoCP8h
You invented the nigger. I am not a nigger. The nigger is you.

Love him. Was so blessed to hear him speak when I was a little girl. Touched my soul. I walked with my head held high after that experience
