Judson Memorial Church

Almost 40 years after his death, the words of James Baldwin are ever more resonant, speaking powerfully to us about culture, faith, race, justice, and identity. This celebration of Baldwin’s centennial honors his remarkable legacy with readings directed by actor and playwright Daniel Carlton, plus performances of the jazz, blues and gospel Baldwin listened to as he wrote, as well as new music by Julian Hornik and Nehemiah Luckett inspired by the novels Giovanni’s Room and Another Country.
