SUMMARY:Debating Civil Rights: James Baldwin\, William F. Buckley Jr.\, and the Battle for the American Soul
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nicholas Buccola (Linfield College) // November 21st\, 2019 // 3:30pm-5:00pm // Belo Center for New Media (BMC) 5.208 \nIn February 1965\, James Baldwin – the poet of the civil rights revolution – and William F. Buckley Jr. – the Saint Paul of the conservative movement – met for an epic debate in Cambridge\, England. Baldwin took the opportunity to deliver a jeremiad against white supremacy and Buckley did his best to warn an international audience of Baldwin’s radical agenda. For the two decades prior to their clash at Cambridge\, Baldwin and Buckley rose to fame as prolific authors and public intellectuals. Both men were – among other things – journalists. In the years prior to the debate\, Baldwin and Buckley provide us with two very different visions of the vocation of the journalist as a witness and a storyteller. In this lecture\, Professor Buccola will describe these visions and explore the implications they might have for our own time. \nDr. Nicholas Buccola is the Elizabeth and Morris Glicksman Chair in Political Science at Linfield College. He is the author of The Fire Is upon Us: James Baldwin\, William F. Buckley Jr.\, and the Debate over Race in America (Princeton University Press)\, The Political Thought of Frederick Douglass (NYU Press)\, and the editor of The Essential Douglass and Abraham Lincoln and Liberal Democracy. His essays have appeared in numerous scholarly journals and popular outlets including The New York Times\, Salon\, Dissent\, and the Claremont Review of Books. \nThe Media Ethics Initiative is part of the Center for Media Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin. Media Ethics Initiative events are open and free to the public.
