James Arthur Baldwin
A writer and essayist symbolizing 20th-century American Black literature and the Civil Rights Movement. Through masterworks like Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time, he depicted Christian faith, racism, and struggles surrounding his own homosexuality with a poetic and overwhelmingly persuasive style. He sharply criticized the hypocrisy of the oppressive American society during the Cold War from a confessional perspective. Appealing for the "restoration of humanity" beyond the division between whites and blacks, he continues to exert a profound influence on the modern "Black Lives Matter" movement.
