James Baldwin - A Soul on Fire: A Short Play by Howard B. Simon | Howard B. Simon
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Inspired by a re-imagining of the historical meeting between Baldwin and Robert Kennedy, this play explores the author/activist's innermost passions in 1963, one of the most catalytic years of the struggle for the Civil Rights movement. The drama imagines what happens when Baldwin invites Lorraine Hansberry, Harry Belafonte and Lena Horne to a roundtable discussion on race relations with Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
