How I Got Over: 'I Am Not Your Negro' Filmmaker Raoul Peck in Conversation

'James Baldwin’s final and unfinished project Remember This House was an effort to capture the lives of three of his closest friends, all assassinated: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the manuscript Baldwin never finished in his Oscar-nominated documentary, “I Am Not Your Negro". The film is a radically nuanced examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material that connects the past struggles for racial justice to those of the present. WNYC editor Rebecca Carroll hosted an unconventional conversation with Peck about the prescience of Baldwin's work and his indictment of American racism as its own moral monster.' -- +The Greene Space at WNYC & WQXR
