https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/files/2008/08/610_baldwin_intro.jpg610310This week, a post from Maria Popova's insightful blog Brainpickings.org brought to our attention the 7.5-hour conversation between Margaret Mead and writer and American Master James Baldwin, which was recorded in 1970. In our pre-election year and in light of the Ferguson and Eric Garner tragedies, Popova drew out the conversation's themes that still resonate in our society and are topics in the presidential debates.
