today I read in the NYTimes that in recent years Baldwin’s presence has diminished in many high school classrooms. (see the piece here: nytimes/2014/04/25/books/james-baldwin-born-90-years-ago-is-fading-in-classrooms.html)--In one form or another I have taught James Baldwin at Columbia for decades--“Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and “The Fire Next Time”--and because of my daughter Pardis interest in Harlem Renaissance I have learned much more about the preceding period that led to the flourishing of James Baldwin--listen to this short clip of the magnificent Baldwin here--read his works, teach him if you teach, use the new media to keep the flame of a beautiful mind alight!
