Lives recalled at Nightlight
The Nightlight Cinema, 30 N. High St., Akron, will show the film I Am Not Your Negro at 7 and 9 p.m. Monday. The film recalls how James Baldwin wrote a letter in 1979 to his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House. The book was to be a personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. Tickets are $9 for adults and $8 for children and seniors. For more, call 330-252-5782.
