Episode Description:
CNP has long looked to the writer and activist James Baldwin for perspective and inspiration. Through his novels, essays, and other writings, we have found not only a wise ancestor but a trusted friend and witness. We were founded in part, as a tribute and love letter to Baldwin. His legacy is in our DNA. CNP hosted a program to explore James Baldwin's relationship with Atlanta, particularly through his masterpiece "The Evidence of Things Not Seen."
