EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant artifact from the 1960s - a World Council of Churches guest badge issued to James Baldwin. The badge, created by an unknown artist, was given to Baldwin during the Fourth Assembly held in Uppsala, Sweden in July 1968. James Baldwin, an influential African-American novelist, playwright, essayist, poet and activist (1924-1987), played a pivotal role in shaping American literature and civil rights movements. His presence at this international event highlights his global impact as well as his commitment to religious dialogue and social justice. The paper badge is preserved within a plastic sleeve with a pin on the verso for easy attachment. This simple yet powerful object represents not only Baldwin's identification but also serves as a symbol of cultural heritage and Christian faith. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact offers visitors an opportunity to delve into the history of black Americans' struggle for equality during that era. It invites contemplation on how religion intersected with activism in shaping societal change. As we reflect upon this image, it reminds us of James Baldwin's enduring legacy - one that continues to inspire generations striving for racial equality and religious harmony both within America and across borders.
