James Baldwin was a civil rights activist and native New Yorker. His novels often featured gay and bisexual characters and he was outspoken about LGBT issues. The Upper West Side residence where he lived from 1965 until his death in 1987 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.

This event is part of the League’s Preservation Book Club, sponsored by the Peggy N. & Roger G. Gerry Charitable Trust.
