brian: here's more james baldwin. he went to france, he died in france, lived most of his life in france. before i go to this, what do you think of that? monica: he romanticized france for me. i had grown up reading about the harlem renaissance, langston hughes, james baldwin, their travels around the world and going to france. i have a vague recollection, he needed to leave america because he felt like he could not be himself. he felt he had to get away. in that era, i completely understand that you are in such a segregated society. even though we are sort of moving towards two separate societies again, it is not nearly as heinous as it was for him. brian: i am not going to use the clip i was going to. i will go to 1986 because it fits the conversation. he spoke at the national press club. james baldwin talking about why he moved to france. >> i went to france in 1948. i was quite young. in other words, i was getting out of here. i did not so much go to paris as leave new york. the reason i left new york somebody wou

as cofounder roger baldwin explains to a correspondent in the socialist party, the nclb was in entire sympathy with the socialist program, but would read to other groups the task of mobilizing the masses. the role of the nclb was to keep people's mouths open and their printing presses free. now of course, this strategy would become the hallmark of the aclu. in subsequent decades, it proved wildly successful. but during world war i, the litigation campaign generated few generated victories. they failed to save even the masses, despite an auspicious start that made litigation appear promising. in one of the most celebrated speech protective decisions of the war, judge learned hand decided in late july, as a manager -- matter of protection, on the basis of antiwar editorials and political cartoons, exceeded the authority by the espionage act. in contrast to the so-called bad tendency test, the judges typically applied during the wartime cases, which held speakers criminally accountable for statements likely to lead to prohibited conduct. required direct incitement to violation of the law

this is adapted from the james baldwin novel and has been nominated for three academy awards — adapted screenplay, for supporting actress for regina king — who i think is a dead certain — and for the music by nicholas britell. the story, which is set in ‘70s harlem, is, on the one hand you could see it as a story about oppression and unjust incarceration, about racial tension. but actually, it is a love story. it's a love story between these two characters, tish and fonny. fonny is in prison, tish is pregnant and it is about the way in which their relationship plays out against this backdrop of injustice. i think the real genius about barryjenkins' work is, like moonlight, he can take a story and by focusing on the specifics of, like in that case, the life of somebody growing up in poverty, amidst addiction and drugs, and somehow make that story universal by concentrating on the specifics. in the case of this, he gets all the period details right, he gets the details of the characters' struggles right, but it becomes completely universal. did you love moonlight? i did, i thought
