Happy 102nd Birthday

Go Tell It on the Mountain, Baldwin’s semi-autobiographical first novel, has faced bans and challenges in various locations over the years, including Hudson Falls, New York (1994), Prince William County, Virginia (1988), Lemont, Illinois (2017), Nebraska (2022), and Iowa (2023). The book has been targeted for its frank exploration of sexuality, racial themes, and critiques of religious institution.
