i'm still here: black dignity in a world made for whiteness: growing up black, christian, and female, brown's first encounter with race came when she learned that her parents named her austin so that potential employers might believe she was a white man. spending much of her childhood in majority-white spaces, brown had to learn to love blackness on her own terms, and this memoir takes us along for the journey. by exploring her own childhood and journey to adulthood, brown shows the reader all the ways in which america still does not live up to its stated ideals and reveals how a specific white, middle-class evangelicalism has taken part in this era of rising racial hostility. brown asks us to confront our own apathy, recognize god's ongoing presence in the world, and points to a way away from the seemingly intractable tensions of our time.

published with national portrait gallery, smithsonian institution.

the american writer and activist james baldwin (1924–87) considered himself a “witness” as he challenged perspectives on america and its history through his work. he was often recognized for speaking out against injustice at a time when other like-minded artists, collaborators, and organizers were overlooked or silenced. by bringing together artworks that feature james baldwin alongside portraits of other influential figures who shaped his life, this morning, this evening, so soon situates baldwin among a community of culture bearers who contributed to his legacy, particularly through his advocacy for gay rights.

the book accompanies an exhibition at the national portrait gallery in washington, dc, curated by the national portrait gallery’s director of curatorial affairs, rhea l. combs, in consultation with pulitzer prize–winning author hilton als. well-known portraits by beauford delaney and bernard gotfryd are presented alongside paintings, photographs, and films representing key figures within baldwin’s circle. by viewing baldwin through the lens of community, readers gain a deeper understanding of how his sexuality and faith, artistic curiosity, ideas of masculinity, and involvement in the civil rights movement shaped his writing and enduring legacy.

the book uses portraiture to explore the interconnected lives of baldwin and figures including lorraine hansberry (writer and activist), barbara jordan (lawyer, educator, and politician), bayard rustin (leader in social movements), lyle ashton harris (artist), essex hemphill (poet and activist), marlon riggs (filmmaker, poet, and activist), and nina simone (singer-songwriter, pianist, and activist), among others.

artists include: richard avedon, glenn ligon, donald moffett, beauford delaney, bernard gotfryd, faith ringgold, lorna simpson, and jack whitten.
