I am back with another listener request!
James Baldwin is one of the most well known authors of the twentieth century. Growing up in Harlem during the roaring twenties and depression riddled thirties, Baldwin knew from a young age he wanted to be a writer. But living with an overbearing stepfather made that dream something he had to fight for.
Tune in this week as I dive into the first half of Baldwin's life including growing up in New York, his early introduction to the arts, and what prompted him to leave the United States.
