James Baldwin is one of the most influential Americans of all time. Novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, Baldwin's words help to ignite the Civil Rights movement and fight for the rights of all persons, regardless of race, sexuality, or gender. His books explored the complexities of sexuality and he is best known for his 1965 debate against segregationalist, William Buckley in which Baldwin stated that “The American Dream is at the expense of the American Negro.” This line-art portrait echoes that message and pays homage to James Baldwin's activism. All flowers are symbolic to the author from the green Carnation(a symbol of queer identity from Oscar Wilde) to the Roses(the flower of New York, home of Baldwin's birthplace, Harlem).
