Managed to get a 1964 “Book Club Edition” (I think first edition as well) of “Blues For Mister Charlie” by Baldwin at McKays in Chattanooga. Something crazy about this book and it’s weight with thinking what America looked like when these pages were freshly printed.
James Baldwin’s word for this year: “I challenge the candidate to love the country which he claims to love to the entire extent of love: to face it, this present chaos, and help the country to face itself, and, for the sake of all our children, to change it.” Love will save us.
When the Romans tortured Christians, the tomb was empty.
When the Natives walked the trail of tears, the tomb was empty.
When the Africans were kidnapped and forced into slavery, the tomb was empty.

God sees. God cares.
