Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr., is a Princeton professor and bestselling author of Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own. In this rousing final episode, Dr. Glaude delves into The Fire Next Time, Baldwin’s galvanizing condemnation of racism in America and how he consistently refuses to be pigeon-holed into one school of thought. Across his works, Baldwin addresses an incredible range of ideas and issues—many of which we still grapple with today—with a persistent message of hope, justice, and love. Baldwin historian Ed Pavlić caps off this episode with a segment on his friendship with iconic author Toni Morrison and Baldwin’s continuing legacy.
