Offered every other year, the James Baldwin Lecture honors the late James Baldwin, who taught at UMass for several years. Each lecture addresses issues connected to social, economic, and political justice. This year's lecture is co-sponsored by Josephine White Eagle Cultural Center, and it is presented as the capstone event of this year's Feinberg Series.
