Black Intellectuals Speak: James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni & Dr. Welsing | Full Conversations

In 1971, a 47-year-old James Baldwin sat across from 28-year-old Nikki Giovanni in London and had one of the most honest generational exchanges ever recorded — on Black manhood, love, rage, and what America does to both. Alongside it: an extended conversation with Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, the psychiatrist behind The Isis Papers, laying out her analysis of racism as a power system. Cipher With Malik has preserved, restored, and chaptered these conversations in full — because excerpts have too often stripped these thinkers of their context. They didn't teach you this in school.
