For Baldwin’s birthday week (his 100th!), I wrote for @nytimes about another Baldwin anniversary: the 60th of his Broadway debut.

In 1964, James Baldwin’s Broadway debut, “Blues for Mister Charlie,” was a revolution on the stage. Sixty years later, and on the centenary of his birth, a look at the play and its brief, tortured run highlights his legacy on the stage. https://t.co/6fu7IN2L4x
