James Baldwins School Performance

When watching the the documentary in class I am not your negro we were recomemded to watch a perfomance at out collage related to James Baldwinds work, which I found pretty interesting so I decided to attend. I didn't really know what to expect when coming in to the perfomance but I was surpised when it began it was beautiful. Musicions performed jazz music which I found to like a lot. The musicians explained how this music related a lot to James Baldwin because jazz was really big when James Baldwin was growing up. They let the audience know about how this type of music helped many african americans get thorugh hard times and how they were able to express their felings though music by playing it or just creating it. I found it amazing and beautiful to learn about how music was a big part of history and how it allowed people come together in hard times.
