About this Event

I Am A Man: A Declaration on Baldwin

On this February iWitness: Lunch Break, we honor, celebrate and meditate on James Baldwin through the eyes of those in Memphis in 1968. We uplift and honor all the men who went on strike and fought for their rights, and of those who had a dream for a better day. We insist on dignity and humanity, in 1968 and 2025 and all the tomorrows, in word and in action, no matter the attempts at intimidation.Join us with world-renown jazz pianist Danny Mixon, Betsy Writers Room Artist-in-Residence, as we move through images and words and tunes that remind us of Black Excellence and the humanity that exists in us all.
