The Kennedy-Baldwin Meeting: Part 1 In-Person

In a memorable meeting in May 1963, Attorney General Bobby Kennedy met with James Baldwin and a group of Black activists and artists in the Kennedy family apartment in NYC. Kennedy, an ardent civil rights supporter, expected a discussion on how to move forward. Instead, a verbal attack ensued, leaving Kennedy shocked.
