Revive: Literature..The Fire Next Time

The Fire Next Time: A Precursor to Barack Obama?


The Cleveland Renaissance presents is first Book Club offering: "The Fire Next Time"

James Baldwin's plea "to end the racial nightmare" shares shocking similarity to Presidential hopeful Barack Obama's nomination speech. A forthright and unapologetic plea for Americans to accept a multiracial society in order to create a better union, Baldwin's essay on race in America is relevant, healing, and HOPEful.

This short book is easy, yet insightful reading. The Fire Next Time is available at your local bookstore for less than $10 and comes in paper and hardback.

An essential to any renaissance library...take a little time for yourself and read this book in your spare time (what little amount you may have)

...book club meeting date and place to TBA
