Transcript of the documentary film, "I Am Not Your Negro," by Raoul Peck composed of unpublished and published writings, interviews, and letters by James Baldwin on the subject of racism in America.
Each line of narration in Raoul Pecks stunning documentary film I Am Not Your Negro is taken directly from James Baldwins writings, letters, and interviews, or from video clips featuring him. The films starting point is the most famous book Baldwin never wrote: in his final years, he had begun work on a book about his three assassinated friends, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. His deeply personal notes for the project have never been published before. Pecks film uses them to jump through time, juxtaposing Baldwins private words with his public statements, in a blazing examination of the tragic history of race in America.
This edition of the script contains twenty-seven black-and-white images from the film.
