What, N*gger?


This is a clip taken from, "Take this Hammer"in which KQED's mobile film unit follows author and activist James Baldwin (during the spring of 1963). Baldwin reflects on the racial inequality that African-Americans are forced to confront and suggests that: "There will be a Negro president of this country" but claims that "it will not be the country that we are sitting in now."

It seems as though Baldwin knew what he was talking about when he said there will be a Negro president. 

Yours,
