James Baldwin
August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987

Author, Activist, and Humanitarian
Baldwin’s work powerfully explored race, sex, and class distinction in America with a piercing depth and fierce beauty that solidified him as an essential voice in the Civil Rights movement.

Baldwin lived at 81 Horatio Street from 1958 to1961 while working on the novel Another Country.
