  • Summary

  • On the debut episode of The Baldwin 100—a new series examining the life and work of iconic author and Civil Rights activist James Baldwin—we welcome Robert Jones Jr., former creator of the popular “Son of Baldwin” online community and bestselling author of the novel The Prophets. Here, Robert delves into who James Baldwin was and why he matters more than ever. Then Baldwin historian Ed Pavlić talks about what it's like to teach James Baldwin these days, and why his works are just as relevant now as when they were first published.
