My admiration of #literary giant James Baldwin began in the late 1980’s when I began to work with Sol Stein, #editor #author & #publisher.

Today is James Baldwin’s birthday— a Black queer writer, thinker, and activist.

To honor him, we’re loving on our kin, because “Black kin and care is balm”...exactly as he prescribed.

Birthday love to James Baldwin

“Black joy is necessary. Black leisure is imperative. Black kin and care is a balm. Always. And especially in a white supremacist state.

Reposting @jamesbaldwinarchive I have witnessed and endured the brutality of the police many more times than once--but, of course, I cannot prove it. I cannot prove it because the Police Department investigates itself, quite as though it were answerable only to itself. But it cannot be allowed to be answerable only to itself. It must be made to answer to the community which pays it, and which it is legally sworn to protect, and if American Negroes are not a part of the American community, then all of the American professions are a fraud - James Baldwin, A Report From the Occupied Territory #JamesBaldwin #jimmybaldwin #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #AllBlackLivesMatter #stopkillingBlackpeople #GeorgeFloyd #MahkiaBryant #acab #f12 #ftp #abolition #abolishice #abolishthepolice #abolitionist #abolishprisons #abolishpolice #abolishcops #abolishborders #Blackwriters #Blackwriter #shelfie #tbr #bookstack #Blackhistory #Blackculture #mood #culture #essay �� view on Instagram https://ift.tt/14ZvfJR

Thinking about Afghanistan & thinking about what Baldwin says: "The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their ‘vital interests’ are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the ‘sanctity’ of human life, or the ‘conscience’ of the civilized world."   "Well, if one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected—those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most!—and listens to their testimony. Ask any Mexican, any Puerto Rican, any Black man, any poor person—ask the wretched how they fare in the halls of justice, and then you will know, not whether or not the country is just, but whether or not it has any love for justice, or any concept of it. It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” - James Baldwin Follow @Joseifworldblog.page @jamesbaldwinarchive @cnn #JamesBaldwin #JimmyBaldwin #JamesArthurBaldwin #Blackwriters #Harlem #Afghanistan #kin #community #mutualaid#exploremore#explorepage #Blackgaywriter#joseifworld#joseifworldblog #Blackgaywriters #Blackqueermagic #Blackqueergenius #Icon #BlackGenius #abolishborders#unitedstates#worldnews #abolition#archive#universe#nbcnews#naijanews #washingtonpost #reuters https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKN4-VIYrM/?utm_medium=tumblr

In 1971 I lived in Santa Cruz and spent the nights I wasn’t in the darkroom at Bookshop Santa Cruz. I found a number of books I still treasure and at the top of the list is “Nothing Personal” with photographs by Richard Avedon and writing by James Baldwin. I return to this book at least once a year, and would wish for James Baldwin Happy Birthday, with gratitude ❤️ Nothing Personal : Richard Avedon and James Baldwin #happybirthday #jamesbaldwin #nothing #personal @bookshopsc @jamesbaldwinarchive @richardavedonfoundation #blacklivesmatter #blm #protest #america #social #documentary #portrait #photography #camera #schwarzweiss #blancoynegro #blancinegre #bnw #film #blancetnoir #白黒 #Hēiyǔbái #siyahbeyaz #shirokuro #blackandwhite #pdx #portland #nw #northwest #leftcoast #oregon https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZuxqgHheJ/?igshid=pbxuiydkk6q6
