Raoul Peck Quotes
James Baldwin is one of the greatest, North American writers of the second half of the Twentieth Century.

He explored palpable, yet unspoken, intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies and the inevitable, if unnameable, tensions with personal identity, assumptions, uncertainties, yearning, and questing.
