@everyone You are invited to join tonight’s weekly Wednesday night Spirituality And Activism zoom!

Tonight’s Agenda: A Celebration of the Revolutionary Thought of James Baldwin

Tonight we will watch and discuss a powerful documentary created to honor James Baldwin who has been called GOD’S REVOLUTIONARY VOICE: a literary, philosophical, cultural, artistic, and ideological genius, whose ideas on the revolutionary remaking of world humanity continue to exert their power.

“To Fulfill the Unfulfilled, To Answer the Unanswered: The Revolutionary James Baldwin,” the title of this film, is a documentary produced by The Saturday Free School for Philosophy and Black Liberation. Premiered on August 2, 2024—Baldwin’s 100th birth anniversary—it explores Baldwin’s revolutionary evolution and positions him as a philosopher inseparable from Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Freedom Movement. The premiere was part of a three-day celebration in Philadelphia, featuring an Afro-Asiatic Peace Concert and the exhibit Love & Revolution: James Baldwin Speaks to Our Time.

Amid today’s national crises of violence, poverty, and meaning, Baldwin’s work offers us a path toward healing and transformation. His writings reflect both the possibility and necessity of the birth of a new American people and challenge us to complete the unfinished democratic and emancipatory struggle.
