In celebration of Black History Month, let us pay homage to the late James Baldwin. This famed 20th Century author is perhaps best known for his novel Go Tell it on the Mountain. Still, his other works also left an unrivaled mark on American literature and culture.
Enjoy reading more about Baldwin's history on PBS's site: American Masters or borrow some of his works from your local library.
