Raoul Peck’s experimental documentary film I Am Not Your Negro (2017) builds upon James Baldwin’s unfinished book, Remember This House (1979), a consideration of America’s history of race through the lives and deaths of his friends Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. Like Peck, visual artist Glenn Ligon reads, reworks, and collaborates with Baldwin in the exhibition, Glenn Ligon: To be a Negro in this country is really never to be looked at.
Presented in collaboration with the Film and Media Studies Program.
