I Heard It Through the Grapevine
In the film “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” Baldwin traveled south to find out what really became of Black Americans after the protest movements of the nineteen-sixties.
By James Baldwin
What happened to this country?
And what does this mean for the world?
What does this mean for me?
What happened to the children,
and those who did not die,
but whose lives were smashed
on Freedom Road?
