The Auburn Avenue Research Library, in partnership with the Baton Foundation, Inc., will host a double film screening honoring the life, intellect and activism of James Baldwin. This program is free and open to the public.

James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket (86 mins.)

An emotional portrait, a social critique, and a passionate plea for human equality, James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket is now considered a classic. Without using narration, the film allows Baldwin to tell his own story–exploring what it means to be born Black, impoverished, gay and gifted – in a world that has yet to understand that “all men are brothers.”
