@sonofbaldwin: “Audre Lorde is the only person on whole Earth that ever beat James Baldwin in a debate.” The receipts: (and BTW I LOVE James Baldwin AND Audre Lorde. This is a comment on how amazing Lorde is, not a diss on Baldwin) “She could have luxuriated in our admiration when she debated the eloquent Baldwin into silence; but her greatest debate was with herself. When she shattered self silence, Audre Lorde spoke with a mighty thunder that acknowledged the terrible truth: we’ve got to go through today’s storms to get to tomorrow’s sunshine.” (Source)Revolutionary Hope: A Conversation Between James Baldwin and Audre Lorde -- source link
