Baldwin brought a group of friends that night including Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Lorraine Hansberry and Clarence Benjamin Jones. Michael Eric Dyson’s new book, “What Truth Sounds Like: Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin, and Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America,” explores that historic meeting, what came out of it and asks us all to imagine: What would that meeting look like today?
