Baldwin–Kennedy meeting

The Baldwin–Kennedy meeting of May 24, 1963 was an attempt to improve race relations in the United States. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ("RFK") invited novelist James Baldwin, along with a large group of cultural leaders, to meet in a Kennedy apartment in New York City. The meeting became antagonistic and the group reached no consensus. The black delegation generally felt that Kennedy did not understand the full extent of racism in the United States. Ultimately the meeting demonstrated the urgency of the racial situation and was a positive turning point in Kennedy's attitude towards the civil rights movement.
==Background==
After formally abolishing slavery, the United States maintained a racist society through Jim Crow laws and other forms of systemic inequality. This racism became increasingly apparent due to many well-publicized instances of police violence against nonviolent direct actions.
As the Birmingham campaign and Birmingham riot of 1963 brought negative attention to urban racism in the US, RFK wanted to prevent similar unrest from taking place in northern cities.〔Saucedo, ''The Fire Within'' (2004), pp. 89–90.〕〔Schlesinger, ''Robert Kennedy and His Times'' (1978), p. 330.〕 Baldwin was reportedly already in contact with RFK on the topic of Birmingham, calling for an investigation into the role of the FBI and other federal agencies.〔"Kennedy Blamed By Baldwin", ''New York Times'', May 13, 1963; accessed (via ProQuest ) May 21, 2013. "LOS ANGELES, May 12 (AP)--James Baldwin, Negro novelist, visiting here for integration rallies, cabled Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy today, blaming J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Senator James O. Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi, and President Kennedy for the turmoil in Birmingham, Ala. Among other things he asserted that the President had "not used the great prestige of his office as the moral forum which it can be".〕
Baldwin, already a popular novelist, had recently gained additional fame by virtue of ''The Fire Next Time'', a book of two essays urging action against racism in America. Baldwin had become an iconic Black American, and Kennedy sought him out for advice on how to improve race relations.〔Staffordshire, ''Historical Guide'' (2009), p. 47.〕 Kennedy had met Baldwin in 1962 at a Nobel Prize dinner. The two met briefly in May 1963 at Hickory Hill, but Kennedy had to leave early. They agreed to meet again, with a group of cultural leaders assembled by Baldwin.〔Saucedo, ''The Fire Within'' (2004), pp. 90–91.〕
