A brief word on the purpose of this page and body of work:
The very first thing a writer has to face is that he cannot be told what to write. The one thing you have to do is try to tell the truth. In order to do it, the work may hurt you (the reader) but in order to write it – the work had to hurt me (the writer) first. I can only tell you about yourself, as much as I can face about myself. You may go through life and think “no one has ever suffered the way I’ve suffered.” Then you realize, (through reading, seeing, hearing etc.) that your suffering doesn’t isolate you. Suffering is your bridge. That many people have suffered before you. Many people are suffering around you. And always will. And all you can do is bring a little light into that suffering. Enough light so the person who is suffering can begin to comprehend their suffering, begin to live with it, and begin to change it. To change their situation. We don’t change anything, all we can do is invest people with the moral to change things for themselves.
James Baldwin in conversation with Nikki Giovanni, 1971
