You can now watch Raoul Peck’s 2016 US documentary “I Am Not Your Negro” on Netflix.
The film is inspired by the unfinished manuscript “Remember This House,” a collection of notes and letters written by writer and activist James Baldwin in the 1970s that recall the work and life of his close friends and civil rights leaders Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers.
James Baldwin was a writer, poet, and activist who wrote “If Beale Street Could Talk,” a novel about the experiences of a young African-American couple in Harlem whose love is threatened by racism. (Filmed in 2018 by “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins.)
“I Am Not Your Negro” is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
