James Baldwin
Writer, critic and activist James Baldwin lived a life full of words and boldness in his dark skin and beliefs.
Born in Harlem, New York on August 2, 1924, Baldwin spent a large part of his 63 years blessing the world with words, books and a strong belief in who he was with no apologies.
He started his writing career at the age of 13 when he published his first article Harlem-Then and Now in the Douglas Pilot, his high school magazine of which he was the editor. His passion for writing started in public libraries where he stayed to avoid his stepfather David Baldwin.
Baldwin died of stomach cancer in Saint Paul de Vence, France.
