to “I Saw Beauford Delaney Today ”
Engraved text on the noteboard:
Because he was apparently confused, needing guidance, and trying
to figure out what to do with his life, somebody told James Baldwin
about painter Beauford Delaney. 16 year old Baldwin showed up
at Delaney’s Greene St. apartment in Greenwich Village with questions.
Should he become a preacher as his family wanted or should he
be a writer?
