When author James Baldwin passed away in 1987, he left behind a remarkable collection of writings: novels, poetry, movie scripts, and, most notably, essays. A close friend and ally of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Medgar Evers, Baldwin played a crucial role in the civil rights movement. Despite his early success as a writer, he grappled with the challenge of maintaining his personal voice while simultaneously representing the collective experience of the community.
Collaborating with prestigious contributors such as Baldwin biographer David Leeming and novelist Jamaica Kincaid, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hilton Als presents God Made My Face: A Collective Portrait of James Baldwin. This impactful tribute delves into Baldwin's vast impact on cinema, theater, essays, and critical studies of Black America. Alongside insightful essays from personal contemporaries and inspired artists, this mosaic memorial closely examines Baldwin's various tones and reinforces his belief that, as humans, we have the potential to love and connect with each other in all our greatness.

About the Artist
James Baldwin
James Arthur Baldwin (1924 – 1987) was an American writer and civil rights activist who garnered acclaim for his essays, novels, plays, and poems. His 1953 novel Go Tell It on the Mountain has been ranked among the best English-language novels. His 1955 essay collection Notes of a Native Son helped establish his reputation as a voice for human equality. Baldwin was a well-known public figure and orator, especially during the civil rights movement in the United States. Two portraits of Baldwin are in the Chrysler Museum's collection.
