James Baldwin investigated these murders, the Black administration in Atlanta, and Wayne Williams, the Black man tried for the crimes. Because there was only evidence to convict Williams for the murders of two men, the children's cases were closed, offering no justice to the families or the country. Baldwin's incisive analysis implicates the failures of integration as the guilt party, arguing, \"There could be no more devastating proof of this assault than the slaughter of the children.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Stacey Abrams writes in her foreword, \"The humanity of black children, of black men and women, of black lives, has ever been a conundrum for America. Forty years on, Baldwin's writing reminds us that we have never resolved the core query: Do black lives matter? Unequivocally, the moral answer is yes, but James Baldwin refuses such rhetorical comfort.\" In this, his last book, by excavating American race relations Baldwin exposes the hard-to-face ingrained issues and demands that we all reckon with them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Baldwin\u003c\/b\u003e's celebrated works of fiction include \u003ci\u003eGo Tell It on the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGiovanni's Room\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnother Country\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIf Beale Street Could Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJust Above My Head\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eGoing to Meet the Man.\u003c\/i\u003e He was also the author of a book of poetry, \u003ci\u003eJimmy's Blues\u003c\/i\u003e; two dramatic works, \u003ci\u003e Blues for Mister Charlie\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Amen Corner\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand many works of nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eNobody Knows My Name\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fire Next Time\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNotes of a Native Son. \u003c\/i\u003eBorn in Harlem in 1924, he lived for many years in France, where he died in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.1 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 17, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52624138436915,"sku":"9781250844897","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b0wyS3l2NzAveTR5VzJUM0hERE5ZUT09.webp?v=1761998273","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-evidence-of-things-not-seen-paperback-2","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
