Film: The Price of the Ticket. This inspiring
documentary about one of the 20th century's greatest writers traces his development from a teenaged preacher in 1930s Harlem to a writer in post-war Paris and a leader of the U.S. Black civil rights movement of the ‘60s. Baldwin wrote prophetically about race, sexuality, class and the necessity for fundamental social change. Americans of every walk of life have been influenced by this man's ideas whether they have ever heard his name or not. Come find out more about his life and his heroic battle against racism. Revolutionary poet Nellie Wong will lead a discussion after the film. A delicious Southern Gumbo dinner will be served at 6:00pm before the movie. The film begins at 7:30pm. Door donation is $3.00 for the movie; dinner donation is $8.50. Sliding scale and work exchanges are available for students and low-income people.
