baldwin does that incredibly in the essay. when he talks about growing up in harlem he talks about particularly the onset of adolescence inharlem and how treacherous that is . because we begin to map out the paththat our lives will take . and he sees nothing but danger really ahead of him. and the allure of the church is one kind of escape route. the lord of the avenue. there are all these things will in some way compound the dangers of living in harlem. and the sum total will be people's lives that are stilted in some way by race . what he does inin the course of telling this long autobiographical preface is contextualized elijah mohammed. for people who could not understand the militancy, the radicalism, the contempt for white people that the nation of islam embodies. you read the preface of what baldwin is saying and he never says this is how black people feel that he's explaining he comes to the question and how elijah mohammed is almost kind of a logical product of the world that he had navigated. >> one of the long piece

you need the preface of a baldwin essay. he goes out and says islamic people feel this way but he's stating how he comes to the question and how elijah mohammed is almost a logical project that he had navigated . >> one of the many pieces in this anthology is gates profile of louis farrakhan. it's writtenaround the time of the million man march . how do you see farrakhan? how would you go about explaining farrakhan for people in some corners still compares to the way all the wind is assessing the nation of islam in 1962? so it's a pretty big generation at least gap between those two pieces. >> what's interesting about that is baldwin is writing in the midst of the civil rights movement. and to colson he wrote another essay either a long profile of martin luther king but he says that the negro leader has traditionally been in a position of telling white people to hurry up while telling negroes to wait . and he really is articulating that in the midst of the civil rights movement that is a possibility but also is, there's this
