Description:

Please join PHILm for our final showing of Spring Quarter, the 2016 film I am not your Negro! In 1979, the legendary author James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, "Remember This House." The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished.

Please join PHILm and fellow members of the Philosophy Department for a night of discussion on I am not your Negro and the issues it raises on race and violence in America.
