“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”
James Baldwin
W/ an innocence of not knowing what a true giant this man was, I had the good fortune of shaking this man’s gentle yet firm hand…and his love worn gaze..
he spoke at our little college campus in #Berkshires around 1983, at my alma mater #SimonsRockofBardCollege. remember moment well.
