How the legendary debate between a civil rights firebrand and the
father of modern conservatism illuminates America's racial divide
On February 18, 1965, an overflowing crowd packed the Cambridge
Union in Cambridge, England, to witness a historic televised debate
between James Baldwin, the leading literary voice of the civil
rights movement, and William F. Buckley Jr., a fierce critic of the
movement and America's most influential conservative intellectual.
The topic was "the American dream is at the expense of the American
Negro," and no one who has seen the debate can soon forget it.
Nicholas Buccola's The Fire Is upon Us is the first book to tell
the full story of the event, the radically different paths that led
Baldwin and Buckley to it, and how the debate and the decades-long
clash between the men illuminates the racial divide that continues
to haunt America today.
