Both Baldwin and O’Connor published much of their major works after 1954 during the rise of the Civil Rights Movement.  One white, female and southern, one Black, male and from the north, these authors often articulate different attitudes about race, class and gender, but their lives and fiction also converge in meaningful ways that help us reflect on a turbulent time in American history.
