— David Adams Leeming , James Baldwin: A Biography [176]

^ In his early writing, Baldwin said his father left the South because he reviled the crude vaudeville culture in New Orleans and found it difficult to express his inner strivings. But Baldwin later said his father departed because "lynching had become a national sport." [13]

^ Baldwin learned that he was not his father's biological son when he overheard a comment to that effect during one of his parents' conversations late in 1940. [22] He tearfully recounted this fact to Emile Capouya , with whom he went to school. [22]

^ It is in describing his father's searing hatred of white people that comes one of Baldwin's most noted quotes: "Hatred, which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man who hated and this was an immutable law." [25]

^ It was from Bill Miller, her sister Henrietta, and Miller's husband Evan Winfield, that the young Baldwin started to suspect that "white people did not act as they did because they were white, but for some other reason." [38] Miller's openness did not have a similar effect on Baldwin's father. [39] Emma Baldwin was pleased with Miller's interest in her son, but David agreed only reluctantly—daring not to refuse the invitation of a white woman, in Baldwin's later estimation, a subservience that Baldwin came to despise. [40]

^ As Baldwin's biographer and friend David Leeming tells it: "Like Henry James , the writer he most admired, [Baldwin] would have given up almost anything for sustained success as a playwright." [41] Indeed, the last writing he did before his death was on a play called The Welcome Table . [41]

^ Baldwin's biographers give different years for his entry into Frederick Douglass Junior High School. One gives 1935, the other 1936. [44]

^ In the summer that followed his graduation from Douglass Junior High, Baldwin experienced what he called his "violation": the 13-year-old Baldwin was running an errand for his mother when a tall man in his mid-30s lured Baldwin onto the second floor of a store where the man touched Baldwin sexually. Frightened by a noise, the man gave Baldwin money and disappeared. Baldwin ran home and threw the money out his bathroom window. [49] Baldwin named this his first confrontation with his homosexuality, an experience he said both scared and aroused him. [49]

^ Eugene Worth's story would give form to the character Rufus in Another Country . [69]

^ Happersberger gave form to Giovanni in Baldwin's 1956 novel Giovanni's Room .

^ When Baldwin later reflected on "Everybody's Protest Novel" in a 1984 interview for The Paris Review he said the essay was a "discharge" of the "be kind to niggers, be kind to Jews"-type book that he reviewed constantly in his Paris era: "I was convinced then—and I still am—that those sort of books do nothing but bolster up an image. [...] [I]t seemed to me that if I took the role of a victim then I was simply reassuring the defenders of the status quo; as long as I was a victim they could pity me and add a few more pennies to my home relief check." [102]

^ This is particularly true of "A Question of Identity". Indeed, Baldwin reread The Ambassadors around the same time he was writing "A Question of Identity" and the two works share some thematic congeniality. [131]

^ Also around this time, Delaney had become obsessed with a portrait of Baldwin he painted that disappeared. In fact, Baldwin managed to leave the portrait in Owen Dodson's home when Baldwin was working with Dodson on the Washington, D.C. premiere of Another Country . Biographer David Leeming described the missing painting as a " clause célèbre " among friends of Dodson, Delaney, and Baldwin. When Baldwin and Dodson had a falling-out some years later, hopes of retrieving the painting were dashed. The painting eventually reappeared in Dodson's effects after his death. [142]

Baldwin: I would think so. I don't see any other way for it to go. But then you have to be very careful what you mean by socialism. When I use the word I'm not thinking about Lenin for example ... Bobby Seale talks about a Yankee Doodle-type socialism ... So that a socialism achieved in America, if and when we do ... will be a socialism very unlike the Chinese socialism or the Cuban socialism.
Walker: What unique form do you envision socialism in the U.S.A. taking?
Baldwin: I don't know, but the price of any real socialism here is the eradication of what we call the race problem ... Racism is crucial to the system to keep Black[s] and whites at a division so both were and are a source of cheap labor."
