====================
James
Baldwin (1924 –
1987) was an American writer and activist in LGBT rights and Civil
rights in general.
Baldwin's
novels and plays fictionalize questions and dilemmas of pressures
preventing integration not only of African Americans, but also of gay
and bisexual men They showed internalized obstacles to the quests
for acceptance. This was prominent in Baldwin's second novel,
Giovanni's Room,
written in 1956,
at the beginning of the modern gay liberation movement.
His
unusual intelligence combined with the persecution by his stepfather
had caused Baldwin to spend much of his time alone in libraries. By
the time Baldwin had reached age fourteen, he had developed a passion
for writing.
The
quest to answer or explain family and social rejection—and attain a
sense of selfhood, both coherent and benevolent—became a consistent
theme in his writing.
He
befriended the actor Marlon Brando in 1944 and the two were roommates
for a time. They remained friends for more than twenty years.
During
his teenage years Baldwin had started to realize that he was gay.
Disillusioned by American prejudice against blacks, he left the
United States at the age of 24
and settled in Paris, France. He hoped to come to terms with his
sexual ambivalence.
Baldwin's
novel, Giovanni's
Room, caused great
controversy when it was first published in 1956
due to its explicit
homoerotic content. Giovanni's Room is predominantly about white
characters. Baldwin's next two novels, Another
Country and
Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone,
are sprawling, experimental works dealing with black and white
characters and with heterosexual, gay, and bisexual characters.
Around
the time of publication of The
Fire Next Time,
Baldwin became a known spokesperson for civil rights. Baldwin's
essays articulated the anger and frustration felt by black Americans
and lgbt's with more clarity and style than any other writer of his
generation.
Several
of his essays and interviews of the 1980s
discuss homosexuality and homophobia with fervor and forthrightness.
As he had been the leading literary voice of the civil rights
movement, he became an inspirational figure for the emerging gay
rights movement.
The
civil rights movement was hostile to homosexuals. The only known gay
men in the movement were James Baldwin and Bayard Rustin. Rustin and
King were very close, as Rustin received credit for the success of
the March on Washington.
At
the time, Baldwin was neither in the closet nor open to the public
about his sexual orientation. Baldwin was conspicuously
uninvited to speak at
the end of the March on Washington.
Martin
Luther King spoke on the topic of sexual orientation in a school
editorial column during his college years, and in reply to a letter
during the 1950s, where he treated it as a mental illness which an
individual could overcome. The pressure later resulted in King
distancing himself from both men.
In
2002, scholar Molefi Kete Asante included James Baldwin on his list
of 100 Greatest African Americans.
In
2005, the USPS created a first-class postage stamp dedicated to
Baldwin, which featured him on the front, with a short biography on
the back of the peeling paper.
In
2012 James Baldwin was inducted into the Legacy Walk, an outdoor
public display that celebrates LGBT history and people.
In
2017, Scott Timberg wrote an essay for the Los Angeles Times in which
he noted existing cultural references to Baldwin, thirty years after
his death, and concluded: "So Baldwin is not just a writer for
the ages, but a scribe whose work — as squarely as George Orwell’s
— speaks directly to ours."
