Go Tell It On The Mountain...

Updated: Oct 19, 2020

At the start of the final section of James Baldwin's first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, is an epigraph for the 14-year-old protagonist that foreshadows the long, difficult journey that will lead him from his bitter childhood into whatever he makes of his life: ''Then I buckled up my shoes,/And I started.'


Have we finally buckled up our shoes and started?
