James Baldwin
In 1948, African-American writer, critic and activist James Arthur Baldwin moved to Europe in order to get a more peaceful environment to write. His decision was based on the fact that America contained too much prejudice which he could no longer take. James Baldwin spent most of his childhood and young adulthood dealing with segregation and racism while struggling to enjoy basic human rights. In many interviews, he often pointed out issues and problems with the way African Americans were treated in a land they had the right to call home. James suffered much more social bashing because of the fact that he was gay and proud. As a writer, he spent most of his life producing some of the world’s best essays and books on matters relating to African Americans, the Black Race and humanity as a whole. James Spent 9 years in Europe working on some of the best literature produced in black history. He returned to America as James Baldwin the prolific writer. James never permanently moved back to the USA but made it a point to stay on short visits. James moved to France later in 1970 and died at the age of 63 on the 1st December 1987 of stomach cancer.
