It was high time that I read this. What would have been Baldwin‘s 100th birthday just passed, and I saw many references to his work. This is a slim work (2.5 hour audiobook) about race in America. It‘s about religions and the realities of life for black people in the 1960s, all presented frankly and succinctly. I can‘t do much better than the reviews that say simply: “read this”. It still applies today.
