Quanda Johnson
A creative celebration of the works of one of the most clear-headed and impassioned scholars and activists of the 20th century. Melvin Hinton, host of WORT’s Radio Literature, will read Baldwin’s essay “Letter to My Nephew,” first published in the early 1960s as a meditation on the nation’s racist past and hope for a better, freer, future. Hinton will also talk about his meetings and interactions with Baldwin. Scholar and actor Quanda Johnson (pictured) will read Baldwin’s poetry, and Akiwele Burayidi will dance, underpinned by bassist Oliver Gomez.
