I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE trailer - BALDWIN 100 Celebration
Harlem-born and forged, but world made, James Baldwin’s hyper-intelligent grasp of the best and worst of our society fueled his writing and activism and made all of us more aware of ourselves.
On his August 2nd birthday, on what would have been the 100th year of Badwin’s life, The Luminal Theater is celebrating his legacy with Baldwin-inspired activities in Columbia, SC including poems, music, table reads, and of course, rare film screenings like the restored version of this brilliant documentary that follows Baldwin's return to the South almost two decades after the Civil Rights Movement.
