Late writer and activistJames Baldwin is being celebrated for his 100th birthday with an exhibition at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
It's a "deeply personal" look at Baldwin, including a seven-year sketchbook study, projected videos and augmented reality, according to the Wright.
Zoom out: As part of a wider commemoration of Baldwin's impact, the city and public library plan to open 10 little sidewalk libraries around the city that include Baldwin books, according to a news release.
Catch up quick: Harlem-born Baldwin was a prolific novelist, essayist and playwright whose work confronted the United States' legacy of racism and became a voice for generations.
His work also, controversially at the time, addressed queer themes.
