I Am Not Your Negro

emma_torp shared a tip "Much like James Baldwin’s writing a complete narrative that is logical and consistent. This movie was very informative and eye opening."

beth_west_19 shared a tip "A stunning documentary about one of the most important thinkers of the civil rights movement, who also happened to be one of the best novelists of the 20th century"

PasteMagazine shared a tip "Raoul Peck focuses on James Baldwin’s unfinished book Remember This House, a work that would have memorialized three of his friends, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Medgar Evers."

rebekah_oconnell shared a tip "Beautifully made, and perfectly showcases the words and wisdom of James Baldwin. This is one that requires multiple viewings to fully absorb everything it has to offer. Absolutely essential."

erin_colvin shared a tip "This is amazingly done, coming from just 30 pages of James Baldwin’s work. We see so many different people and their impact on him. Very educational."

kylee_a06 shared a tip "Soooo good. I watched this twice. Sometimes docs can get a little boring, but the delivery is the right amount of intelligence and easy to follow story telling. I've had all my friends and family watch it."

kathy_orr shared a tip "This documentary based on Baldwin’s unfinished book Remember This House is voiced by Samuel L Jackson. It is truly a Master Class in race relations in America, and that Baldwin’s words have proven to be timeless says that we have not moved as far along in these matters as we would like to think. In addition to learning more about Baldwin, we also learn more about Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Medgar Evers through Baldwin’s eyes. #blackhistorymonth #blacklife"

And I am humbled at how clearly he sees our nation, how clearly he sees its racial factions and what divides us. And I am ashamed that his voice is not new, and yet we have not yet heeded it. Please watch & listen with an open mind, and give it the opportunity to shift your perspective, even just a little. Listen for truth. It has a clear sound."
