Author James Arthur Baldwin was born on August 2, 1924 and died on December 1, 1987. As a writer he also worked as a novelist, playwright, poet and essayist.

At the same time, it showed the obstacles that stand in the way of the individual's search for acceptance. His mother divorced his father due to his drug addiction and married a preacher known as Baldwin in Harlem. At the age of ten, Baldwin was beaten by police officers. Baldwin attended DeWitt Clinton High School and worked on the school magazine as a literary editor.
