You Mean It or You Don’t: James Baldwin’s Radical Challenge
It is not enough simply to hold progressive views on racial justice, LGBTQ+ identity, and economic inequality. True and lasting change demands a response to James Baldwin’s radical challenge for moral commitment. Calling us to move from dreams of justice to hands-on work in communities, churches, and neighborhoods, You Mean It or You Don’t explores Baldwin’s life and work, as well as the urgent lessons of his witness for today.
