"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced" #JamesBaldwin. I’m wishing a very Happy Birthday today to the legend and icon James Baldwin. Baldwin has been one of the most influential voices in my work. RIP. RP via @ARRAYNow.

My guide in all that I do I turn to his words and wisdom everyday to contextualize our social landscape and address our trauma without ignoring the brightness of our light, the beauty of our blackness, and the optimism in community. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES BALDWIN (shirt @emandahr I ) #jamesbaldwin #birthday

James Baldwin // "You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It...taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive... An artist is a sort of emotional or spiritual historian. His role is to make you realize the doom and glory of knowing who you are and what you are. He has to tell, because nobody else can tell, what it is like to be alive."

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it’s faced” - #JamesBaldwin . There is something powerful, there is something emotional, there is something heartbreaking, there is something cruel, there is something HAPPENING in this country right now that we all will never forget. . From Puerto Rico and #RickyRenuncia to Hawai’i and #ProtectMaunaKea, we are rising up to show our strength and resilience. And right now this courage is screaming for all to hear! . We are here to stay no matter how many times we are told to go back; we are exactly where we BELONG. Plus we sure as hell are NEVER going back. We’re not even gonna sit still. Our duty to our future generations is to move forward and make sure all our work provides justice. . This justice is what I ask of you by SHOWING UP. There are thousands of people, just like you and me, suffering unjustly in modern day internment camps at our southern boarder. There are I.C.E Raids happening all over the country separating families and because of people speaking out only 2% of folks on the ICE list have been detained. I need you to do one thing for me and that is to continue this momentum. I need you to call your Senators at (202)224-3121 and let them know your values. You’re already on your phone it’ll literally takes one minute. I’ve also put a sample script from @fams2gether to make it barrier free for you: . “Hello- . “My name is [your name]. I’m calling because the federal government is terrorizing our communities - I’m completely against this cruel practice. . “Immigration officials separating families and stoking fear through raids is completely unacceptable and goes against my values. . “I demand that the Trump Administration stop the raids immediately. “ . Thank you” . That’s a lot, but we need you all in these movements. There are more of us and we can be louder. We NEED to be louder so all our relations from our lands to our people stay safe and loved. Keep speaking up and speaking out in whatever capacity you have. . Shukriya ✊ . PS: I’ve tagged a few folks that continue to hold me accountable and I invite you to check them out. . #WallsAreMeantForClimbing

"What is it you want me to reconcile myself to? . “I was born here almost sixty years ago; I'm not gonna live another sixty years. You always told me it takes time: it's taken my father's time, my mother's time, my uncle's time, my brothers' and my sisters' time, my nieces' and my nephews' time. . “How much time do you want, for your 'progress'?" - James Baldwin (Aug. 2, 1924 - Dec. 1, 1987), 1983. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #JamesBaldwin

“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see” #JamesBaldwin

Happy birthday to James Baldwin, who would’ve been 95 today. “Gracious and tender, a man who had no idea or concept of his place, who nurtured conversation with Black Panthers and the white literati all in the same afternoon.” -Nikky Finney, from her essay “Playing by Ear, Praying for Rain” at poetryfoundation.org #poetrymagazine #poetryfoundation #poem #poet #poetry #igreads #onthisday #poetbirthdays #birthdayoftheday #poetryhistory #quoteoftheday #jamesbaldwin
