The Fire Next Time

by

Voncille Wratee

James Baldwin speaks of his experiences with race, religion, oppression, pain, will and heart of African Americans. His words demonstrate the need for African Americans to continue to strive for their humanity and dignity in a country where they are seen as less than human and inferior.

Baldwin tackles interviews with legendary figures Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X as we learn of their human dynamics towards one another, expectations and styles of these iconic figures.

​Even though this book was written during the civil rights movement, the words still resonate decades into the future for the same issues are faced over a half century later.
