Description: 

The Negro In American Culture - An outstanding panel on Black perceptions of the American setting in art, mainly literature and drama, featuring James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansberry, Emile Capouya, and Alfred Kazin. Lorraine Hansberry excoriates the arbitrary and superficial approach to Negro character of white writers. James Baldwin describes his sense of the polarity between being a writer and a Black American in a "state of rage". Poet Langston Hughes explains himself baldly as a "propagandist". BROADCAST: WBAI, 10 January 1961.
