PDF-(BOOK)-What Truth Sounds Like: Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin, and Our Unfinished Conversation

A stunning follow up to New York Times bestseller Tears We Cannot StopIn 2015 BLM activist Julius Jones confronted Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with an urgent query What in your heart has changed thats going to change the direction of this country I dont believe you just change hearts she protested I believe you change lawsThe fraught conflict between conscience and politics between morality and power in addressing race hardly began with Clinton An electrifying and traumatic encounter in the sixties crystallized these furious disputesIn 1963 Attorney General Robert Kennedy sought out James Baldwin to explain the rage that threatened to engulf black America Baldwin brought along some friends including playwright Lorraine Hansberry psychologist Kenneth Clark and a valiant activist Jerome Smith It was Smiths relentless unfiltered fury that set Kennedy on his heels reducing him to sullen silenceKennedy walked away from the nearly threehour meeting angry that the black folk assembled didnt understand politics and that they werent as easy to talk to as Martin Luther King But especially that they were more interested in witness than policy But Kennedys anger quickly gave way to empathy especially for Smith I guess if I were in his shoesI might feel differently about this country Kennedy set about changing policy the meeting having transformed his thinking in fundamental waysThere was more every big argument about race that persists to this day got a hearing in that room Smith declaring that hed never fight for his country given its racist tendencies and Kennedy being appalled at such lack of patriotism tracks the disdain for black dissent in our own time His belief that black folk were ungrateful for the Kennedys efforts to make things better shows up in our day as the charge that black folk wallow in the politics of ingratitude and victimhood The contributions of black queer folk to racial progress still cause a stir BLM has been accused of harboring a covert queer agenda The immigrant experience like that of Kennedy versus the racial experience of Baldwin is a cudgel to excoriate black folk for lacking hustle and ingenuity The questioning of whether folk who are interracially partnered can authentically communicate black interests persists And we grapple still with the responsibility of black intellectuals and artists to bring about social changeWhat Truth Sounds Like exists at the tense intersection of the conflict between politics and prophecy of whether we embrace political resolution or moral redemption to fix our fractured racial landscape The future of race and democracy hang in the balance.

If you study the faces carefully, it’s clear that he spent more time on George Washington than he did on the other three presidents. That’s because he originally planned to extend the figures of each president down into the chest area.  But he never lived long enough to see his dream through to completion.

In the era of Trump, what can we learn from his struggle?Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again. —James BaldwinWe live, according to Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., in the after times, when the promise of Black Lives Matter and the attempt to achieve a new America was met with the election of Donald Trump, a racist president whose victory represents yet another failure of America to face the lies it tells itself about race.We have been here before: For James Baldwin, the after times came in the wake of the Civil Rights movement, when a similar attempt to compel a national confrontation with the truth was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In these years, spanning from the publication of The Fire Next Time in 1963 to that of No Name in the Street in 1972, Baldwin was transformed into a more overtly political writer, a change that came at great professional and personal cost. But from that journey, Baldwin emerged with a sense of renewed purpose about the necessity of pushing forward in the face of disillusionment and despair.In the story of Baldwin\'s crucible, Glaude suggests, we can find hope and guidance through our own after times, this Trumpian era of shattered promises and white retrenchment. Mixing biography—drawn partially from newly uncovered interviews—with history, memoir, and trenchant analysis of our current moment, Begin Again is Glaude\'s attempt, following Baldwin, to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in America today. It is at once a searing exploration that lays bare the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and a powerful interrogation of what we all must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a new America.
