Strange Fruit Mention of the Day: #checksout ✅ "The notion that Baldwin — perhaps the most prominent Black American writer of the 20th century — was taught English literature by a white, Jewish teacher who also happened to write the most prominent anti-racist anthem of the 20th century, is an alluring piece of historical happenstance. It is also true." #strangefruitmotd

PS - This article contains a rather sweet letter exchange between Abel Meeropol and James Baldwin. Highly recommend giving this a read all the way through.
