James Baldwin makes a gesture during a visit to the State University of New York in Purchase, New York, on Tuesday, November 18, 1986. On that occasion, he said that America had "5,000 days" left—the rest of the century—to redefine itself, otherwise a new version of "The Fire Next Time" looms. (AP Photo/G. Paul Burnett)

“In 1970, Turkish theater owner Engin Cezzar produced James Baldwin’s groundbreaking play about gay relationships in a 1970s Istanbul prison setting. In 1969, jazz musician Don Cherry, visiting Istanbul with Okay Temiz to record an album, reunited with Baldwin and contributed music to the production. The recording session followed extensive discussions and featured performances by Cherry and Temiz, heightening the play’s tension.“
