Remember This House

Book •
Remember This House was James Baldwin's planned memoir focusing on three assassinated friends—Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.—interweaving personal memory with political history.

Baldwin died before completing the work, but his manuscript and notes formed the basis for Raoul Peck's documentary I Am Not Your Negro.

The memoir aimed to offer intimate portraits of these leaders and a meditation on America's racial crisis.

Its fragmentary state nevertheless provides powerful insight into Baldwin's intentions and perspective.

The material's later adaptation helped reintroduce Baldwin's voice to contemporary audiences.
