In partnership with the usnatarchives, we are proud to present a special celebration honoring the centennial of writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin. Join us on Sunday, October 6, 2024, for a screening of the powerful documentary The Price of the Ticket, featuring interviews with Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, and Baldwin himself.
Following the film, Anthony Coley (NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC) will moderate a panel discussion with filmmaker Karen Thorsen, Dr. Frank Leon Roberts (Amherst University), and Cree Myles, curator of the podcast All Ways Black. The program will also feature a special performance of "James" by dancer joseph webb, accompanied by drummer Keith Butler, Jr.
