@Thierry Mugabo W'Ishema Uwilingiyimana Don’t forget that James Baldwin was the SAFER alternative to black intellectuals like Medgar Evers (assassinated), Fred Hampton (assassinated), Malcolm X (assassinated) and many more that you probably never heard of. When was the last time you saw a Black leader/Star that was catapulted to fame by western media even though they didn’t have an agenda to further undermine African culture?

Its sad that 50+ years later - that's your take way from hearing James Baldwin. It's not a negro problem, its YOUR PROBLEM.

James Baldwin was an intensely deep thinker. He saw the future too vividly. Even as his spirit lives, may his soul continue resting in peace.

Mr. Baldwin got me wanting to achieve more at this stage of my life. 2021 will definitely be my year. His words are so poignant and his work was so ahead of it's time it's _still_ relevant today. #RIPJamesBaldwin

More Baldwin? Yeah, why not. I can definitely live with this alright. Great stuff.

57 years later; now in 2021- this historical film of the conditions the Negro was subjected to in San Francisco, might be viewed by some as history repeating itself - rather than viewed as it should: the past continuum. Thank you for posting this.

Baldwin was so prophetic. He could see that one day we would have a black President. However, he knew that a black President would be elected during a very different time in America.

How lucky are we today that somebody knew enough in 1964 (I know wandnt 1764 ) to bring along a camera to document this remarkable man on his excursions... I am thankful.

James Baldwin❤️🙏🏽 he awakened many souls to their Divine roots. We as a human race have amnesia we are all gods waiting to awaken to our divinity- like the acorn that is an embryo of an Oak tree.

Baldwin was one of the illest minds ever🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥

Stunning! I am at a loss for words. An era that has been laid to rest with the ghost of those struggles surviving into todays reality. The more things change the more it became the same.

Thank you so much for sharing this documentary. ❤️🙏🏾📚 As an aside, it is also a shame that KZread under their draconian copyright took valuable music out of the video.

….this whole entire video is the complete bomb, and is of immeasurable value ..but that last 3 minutes and 20 seconds of this video is all fire🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯!!! What a mind on fire Baldwin is! And what a sensational conversationalist! ..but a conversation with Baldwin is not merely and only great conversation, it’s also and is always at almost every moment an exercise in being educated and enlightened! He takes the most subtle thoughts of experience, thoughts seemingly impossible to express through the vehicle and medium of words, and with what seems to be the greatest ease and eloquence and the most profound but simplest terms gives them not only expression, but through their truths embodies them with breath, fire, power, and life! What a treasure this man is… I won’t say was… thanks to the internet ..and books…..

Marvelous and frightening! Love this man! Oh, San Francisco, Ain't it hard just to live?

I’m from San Francisco and this is the truth and hasn’t changed. See “the last black man in San Francisco.” I live in San Francisco and therefore i live in Oakland. u can run, you can “price” black people “out” (into ghettos, into jails, under your boot) you can avoid and live in privileged “peace” but you will still be tormented in your soul, sick, and wracked w “anxiety” until you let this in. if you live in America you owe a very real debt to black people who built, taught, and nourished this country under the unimaginable weight of total oppression and attempted genocide at every turn. time to pay up and know true peace ✊🏿❤️

Powerful and Truthful. ✌🙏❤

This is almost mind blowing footage....it really shows you a predating time capsule of the honest sentiments the ppl expressed and how it started what led to the Black Panther Party in the Bay Area of California during the 60s!

Astonishing I’m time traveling

We need to see things like to this remind us of our heroes this man is a true even though things are still

"...what you say about someone else, reveals who you are"

The fact that he had the foresight to predict the future of a black president is absolutely amazing especially when everyone else around him couldn’t see that same vision

At 20:45 hearing that young lady speak… and everything she said has to come to pass. Whew!

Devastating last lines...that should at every opportunity, be thrown in the face of any and all, of the more recent flowering de mal,of racists.

why did it take me, a white american, 31 years to hear about this man? of course much can be blamed on myself, i take note and accept this; but what is insane to me, is the rhetoric he has is universal in the sense of looking at people and structure, not color of skin. His words are prevelant, even if ALL humans have lost the ability of eyesight. with racism, being blind is the cure to every argument put forth. James Baldwin has shown the nation how irrelevant their culture is and how his ideals are not something born for an ideal of freedom.

I would have loved to have seen an interview with him and Eartha Kitt.
