SUMMARY:I Am Not Your Negro - Community Discussion with Guest Larry Gossett
DESCRIPTION:In 1979\, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent de
 scribing his next project\, "Remember This House."  The book was to be a 
 revolutionary\, personal account of the lives and assassinations of three 
 of his close friends: Medgar Evers\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King\, Jr
 .  At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987\, he left behind only 30 comple
 ted pages of this manuscript.  Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book Ja
 mes Baldwin never finished. --Summary by Jwelch5742\n\nLarry Gossett has b
 een a lifelong Seattlelite. As a Vista volunteer in Harlem\, he was politi
 cized and radicalized. He founded the Black Student Union on the Universit
