voice from the past

I played a steaming audio interview today of James Baldwin (The Fire Next Time, and much more) in a 1979 tape from Berkeley, CA. There's so much in it, but what struck me particularly was his comment that the only way to live was to love everyone you meet, not to love Amercians as a group, but individual people (Americans certainly included), or in short, everyone you meet.

I'm going to play the audio again tomorrow morning, so I'll post a longer piece tomorrow afternoon on his extraordinary words.
