James Baldwin was the most important person in the world

Love is the key to liberation: the work of Baldwin on the loss of a loved one and the redemption of the world: a biography of Baldwin

All of his writing — no matter how pointed, critical or angry — is imbued with love. He understood that love is the key to liberation and was determined to convince the rest of us. In the short film, Baldwin states that love has never been a popular movement and no one has ever wanted to be free. The world is held together — really it is held together — by the love and the passion of a very few people.”
