James Baldwin speaking with Dick Cavett on “If I Were White”

This is another 1968 short clip from an interview conducted by Dick Cavett with the great James Baldwin. I would HIGHLY ENCOURAGE the reader to look up Baldwin’s writings, books and magazine articles, and full length videos of his speeches and dissertations on Race in America. Martin Luther King Jr. appealed to the ‘spiritual’ aspect of change in America, but Baldwin appealed to the intellectual and deeply historical aspect of American racism. This short clip is just a small taste.
