Baldwin Centennial Project, Public Theatrical Reading (Oakland)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Oakland Public Theater presents a special public reading for their 2024 theatrical production celebrating the birth of the African-American author and social critic. Focusing as much on his personal life as his work – from the churches of Harlem, through expatriation in Europe, into the civil unrest burgeoning out of the South to blossom across America, and even to his evolving public identity as an openly gay man – these events are as rich in drama as they are significant to the maturation of this important artist and activist.

Presented by Peralta Hacienda Historical Park
