## Caption

“This is your home, my friend, do not be driven from it; great men have done great things here, and will again, and we can make America what America must become.”
#JamesBaldwin writing to his nephew, possibly the same young man standing with the writer and activist in the second image here.
Photojournalist #SteveSchapiro was a key eyewitness of the #civilrightsmovement and its leading figures, providing a powerful visual voice and historic record.
His reportage was recently paired with the latest edition of Baldwin’s ‘The Fire Next Time’ - an essay that developed from that same letter to his nephew.
