by 1968, he is pretty much where james baldwin is. and that, i don't believe that is opportunism. i believe that is enlightenment. i experienced it as a kid. in boston. which was, as racist a place as you could grow up in, in america. at that, when i was a kid. it was -- you know, all the same language that, that segregation in the south would use was being used in boston all the time. and you watched that fade out. you watched that, you watched, watched these words become bad words. and, and, i, i, i remember -- you know being in a friend's house. hearing, hearing one of the parents use the n word casually. the guy was a boston cop. i was stunned by it. because, that, that, my, my parents would never allow those words in our house. and it was onl then thaty then noticed my parents would never allowed the word mine house. it could happen in other houses. by the time you get to the end of the decade. the language in my house was the norm. it had become the norm. and so, there were segregationists. who were not in 1968. i don't mean like george wallace who went, who was a segregatio

james baldwin's another country, novels like that. i also, this is novel about evil old patriarch with three messed up sons. and there is a very famous novel aboutso evil old patriarch with three messed up sons, called the brothers karamsov i thought i would pay my respects to dotchesky by checking him out. he wasn't much use, because what he is doing as a writer apart from the echo in the shape of the book there wasn't much that i gained through it. the writer i got a lot from which i always get a lot from is charles dickens because one of the things that i've always admired about dickens and particularly tried to use in this book is contrast between the background and foregrounds of his books. the city of backgrounds of charles dickens book, the keynesian city is with a obsessive realism. incredible social detail, and natural listic accuracy. so the world of, there is that world, that cityd lives in our imagine even today because it is created with such incredible attention to minute detail. and, a thing that i have always admired a

be as [inaudible] my question is it's the way you write you spoke earlier about how you admire james baldwin'sthere is something about the way you write and present the argumentation. when i read about your life it was interesting as a researcher in a lot of ways and that comes about when you write you present a lot of facts and it's very clear on where you are going in as a professional when i need workspaces they are referencing the work saying i am playing with these issues and they are talking about it in a way that as you said earlier they may see a perspective they didn't see previously comes wit to the quen directly is have you examined what do you think about the way that you present argument for the way in which you write and tell the stories that make them appealing and interesting to the people in a way that maybe others have not? >> the rule nothing forward as you can't ask a question longer than mine.

talk about somebody writing about how maddening kind of black distance is from liberals, read james baldwinalabama. this is a real thing because what happens is that black people get used at pawns either for or against kind of a trump card and we can always go to this community if we can't attract voters from other communities that we need, we can always turn to this community to either suppress their vote or pump up their vote depending on whether or not you're liberal or conservative. that has -- that part has to stop. stop using your trump card. we don't want to be punchishish republicans and -- if you remove the impediments, they will behave. we want to go to work, we want to raise our families, we want to achieve, we are creative, we are artistic because we're human beings and there's none of that is foreign to us. the only thing that stands between that kind of black progress and here is the structures of white supremacy and oppression. remove that and -- >> i really -- >> we want tax relief, that is very important. >> paris, charles, thank you both for the thoughtful discussion. we'l

york city i witnessed a group of eighth-graders discussing the novel if hill street could talk by james baldwin. what struck me in addition to their professional level of discourse was how they had arranged themselves in the classroom, some sat on top of their desks. others were on chairs, a few were standing. not everyone was in a circle. one young man sat outside the circle and participated in the discussion even though he looked angry the entire time. another student sat at the teacher's desk which when i asked the teacher if there's seating arrangement was distracting to him or other students he looked at me curiously. why should it matter how they sit if they are participating and respecting one another's opinions, that is my goal. can they talk to one another from the text, can they find evidence about their points of view, can they build off of what each other says. what about the fact that not everyone was living by the same rules, clearly the directions were to sit in a circle. look, he began somewhat impatiently with me. what i like everyone to sit in a circle, of course. do i want to
