One weekend in August of 1971, Margaret Mead and James Baldwin sat down for an extraordinary, wide-ranging conversation spanning identity, power and privilege, race and gender, human rights, beauty, religion, social justice, and the relationship between the intellect and the imagination. I came upon it in the aftermath of Ferguson and Eric Gardner, and it instantly stopped my breath with its remarkable prescience.
I’m resurrecting this forgotten cultural treasure in a multi-part series – here is the first installment, focusing on the two intellectual titans’ views on forgiveness and the crucial difference between guilt and responsibility.
