"Everybody's journey is individual"
"Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality." -James Baldwin
Born in Harlem in 1924, American novelist, essayist, and playwright James Baldwin is one of the most renowned figures in American literature. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) is an autobiographical work about coming of age as the son of a Harlem preacher. His later and most socially significant novel, Giovanni’s Room (1956), spoke of homosexuality and interracial relationships, challenging social constructions of post-WWII society.
