Book: If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin
From one of the most important writers of the twentieth century comes a stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime—”a moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless” – The New York Times Book Review
Film: If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) dir. Barry Jenkins
If Beale Street Could Talk is writer-director Barry Jenkins’ adaptation of James Baldwin’s same-named 1974 novel about young lovers forced to overcome unexpected — yet universal — struggles in 1970s Harlem.
Private screening and discussion will take place at Sidewalk Cinema February 26th at 7:00pm.
