ABC Tried to Bury This James Baldwin Interview. Four Decades Later, It's Blisteringly Relevant.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Buried by ABC at the time, the segment has resurfaced over four decades later, revealing a unique glimpse into Baldwin’s private life—as well as his resounding criticism about white fragility, as blisteringly relevant today as it was in 1979.

1. Very intersting interview.

I like how it's so low key and relaxed, unlike todays interviews where everyone is squared off and everything is rehearsed.

Anyone know who the interviewer was?

2. Thanks for sharing ...

I've also seen a Baldwin interview on Dick Cavitt reruns, which I think are on Amazon Prime. Also on Prime is a 1967 appearance by Dr. Martin Luther King on The Merv Griffin Show! Each are just as relevant as this ABC segment.
