This is a classic short book written by famous author James Baldwin published in the early 60's on what it's like being black in this country. Sadly, most of what he says is probably still true. We who cannot experience what it's like first-hand will never truly understand.
Baldwin talks about meeting the then famous Elijah Muhammad in the 60's. The head of the League of Islam preached racist hate-white people doctrine. Baldwin rejected his view of white people as devils.
There is underlining in this book. I bought this little paperback in 1970. I can't tell for sure if it's my underlining or somebody else's. Most likely it's mine.
