Baldwin's essays as collected in Notes of a Native Son (1955) explore palpable, yet unspoken, intricacies of racial, sexual and class distinctions in western societies, most notably in mid-twentieth century America. His work inspired a generation of people who sought a voice, an analysis, and an articulation of their humanity and peoplehood. The relevance of his work and the truths that flowed from his pen still resonates in a profound and poignant way even today. His influence on other major writers is seen, most especially, in the literature of Toni Morrison and August Wilson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=18447\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2016-Jan-11]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MuCCC will host a performance of The Amen Corner, a play by James Baldwin.
