“As is the … result of things unsaid, we find ourselves today oppressed with a
dangerous and reverberating silence”
– James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son
Let us not be silent. Let us read and discuss the work of one of America’s greatest writers. Discussion will be led by John Howard, Ph.,J.D.
Dr. Howard retired as a Distinguished Service Professor from Purchase College, The State University of New York. He is retired also from the practice of law. FACES IN THE MIRROR: OSCAR MICHEAUX AND SPIKE LEE, his well-received book on African-Americans in film was published several years ago. He has also received grants from The National Endowment for the Humanities and from the New York Council on the Arts, and produced and directed a short documentary, IN SEARCH OF JUSTICE, selected for exhibition at a Milan, Italy film festival.
