Please join us at CCNY for our

James Baldwin Centennial Celebration

Born in 1924, James Baldwin's extensive body of work, which spans essays, speeches, plays, poetry, short stories, and novels, fearlessly tackles racial and social issues, offering profound insights into the Black American experience in the 20th century that continue to resonate today.

Spanning fall 2024, the CCNY James Baldwin Centennial Celebration will encompass film screenings, panels, performances, a writing contest and a Harlem community walk centered on the legacy of James Baldwin, our hometown hero.
