TODAY – Art in Context Film Screening: I Am Not Your Negro by James Baldwin; Talkback led by Dr. Helen Davis, Dept. of English *Registration Required

Join the Sordoni Art Gallery on November 13 at 4:45 pm for a special screening of “I Am Not Your Negro” by James Baldwin. The screening will be followed by a talkback led by Dr. Helen Davis, Dept. of English.

In 1979, 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. Dr. Helen Davis, Dept. of English, will conduct a casual talkback following the film.
Registration is required. Space is limited. Email melissa.carestia@wilkes.edu to reserve your space.
