The writings of American author James Baldwin often discuss racial tensions in the United States during the 20th century. Baldwin believed that the racial problem in America involved a symbolic concern with color, and that in reality it was driven more by “private fears and longing” projected on others. This excerpt, concerning the strengthening power of love, comes from Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time (1963), an indictment of American society. It is recited by an actor.
