I Am Not Your Negro: A Companion Edition to the Documentary Film Directed by Raoul Peck

I Am Not Your Negro gives insight to the frustrating experiences of being black in America. Some parts were genuinely disheartening. This book/documentary paints a bleak picture for the prospects of African Americans during the Civil Rights Era. I can't imagine what James Baldwin must have felt when he saw his three close friends (Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr.) die in quick succession. After finishing this book I wondered what powerful work of art that "Remember This House" would have been if James Baldwin had the chance to finish it. Raoul Peck did a great work piecing together this work of art with the resources and materials he had. Highly recommended.
