When Truth Finally Broke Through
A nine-year-old boy sat in a Detroit ghetto in 1968, watching Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral on television. As the camera panned across Ebenezer Baptist Church, something shifted in his understanding-a dawning awareness of what it meant to be Black in America. James Baldwin was there too, later calling it "the most real church service I've ever sat through." Five years earlier, Baldwin had walked into a room with Attorney General Robert Kennedy and shattered the careful distance white liberals maintained from Black suffering. That confrontation-largely forgotten by history-revealed something essential about how power responds when it finally hears unfiltered truth. May 1963 was a pivotal year. Birmingham's streets ran with water from fire hoses turned on peaceful protesters. Bull Connor's dogs tore at children's clothes. The Kennedy administration watched nervously, caught between southern segregationists and an increasingly impatient civil rights movement. Bobby Kennedy thought he understood the problem. He'd helped broker the Birmingham resolution, appointed some progressive judges, and believed himself an ally. When he arranged to meet Baldwin, he expected a productive policy discussion. Instead, he got something far more uncomfortable: witness.
