James Baldwin didn’t believe in reform; he believed in revolution. “Anything less than a total social reckoning—a complete psychological makeover of white America—was worthless,” Louis Menand writes.

If the movie has a clear through line, it is about things that are wrong getting made right, a winding process that often involves committing some new wrongs along the way.
