James Baldwin, one of the most important American writers and social critics, was born on August 2, 1924, in Harlem, New York. His works tackled complex themes like race, identity, sexuality, and the struggles of African Americans in the U.S. Some of his most famous works include Go Tell It on the Mountain, Giovanni’s Room, and The Fire Next Time. Baldwin’s impact on literature and activism is still deeply felt today.
