𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐧 & 𝐉𝐨𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐞𝐳 — 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐚, 𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟓 - This photo says a lot without trying. Baldwin and Baez were both out there in Selma during one of the most dangerous moments of the civil rights era — not for attention, not for a headline, but because they believed they had a responsibility to show up.

James Baldwin speaking

[whatevergreen]

“I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they [Jews] have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction. When I was in Israel it was as though I was in the middle of The Fire Next Time.” James Baldwin, 1970

"But the state of Israel was not created for the salvation of the Jews; it was created for the salvation of the Western interests. This is what is becoming clear (I must say that it was always clear to me). The Palestinians have been paying for the British colonial policy of ‘divide and rule’ and for Europe’s guilty Christian conscience for more than thirty years." James Baldwin, 1979
