James Baldwin was born on this date in 1924.
A country is only as good–I don’t care now about the Constitution and the laws, at the moment let us leave these things aside–a country is only as strong as the people who make it up and the country turns into what the people want it to become. Now, this country is going to be transformed. It will not be transformed by an act of God, but by all of us, by you and me. I don’t believe any longer that we can afford to say that it is entirely out of our hands. We made the world we’re living in and we have to make it over.
James Baldwin
