VIRTUAL: James Baldwin’s Queer Revolution: A Lecture and Conversation with Kevin Quinn ’01

James Baldwin’s position as one of the most important voices of the Civil Rights movement is uncontested. Indeed, he might be the most eloquent of our prophets, the singular critical eye that saw race relations in the American context for what they were, what they are, and what they will always be. But the range of his corrective lens, as it were, also extends to the unprecedented ways in which he changed the queer landscape. His formidable Giovanni’s Room appeared at a time when few American writers could even reference, let alone write explicitly about, queer desire.
