In 1965, a reporter for Cumhuriyet, a Turkish daily newspaper, asked the novelist, playwright, and essayist James Baldwin then living in Istanbul about his dreams for the future of the United States. Baldwin, in his reply, chose instead to talk about the history of the United States. He explained that the future he imagined already existed in the past of the country, namely in the Reconstruction era. “Black and white people were side by side even in trade unions in the South,” Baldwin said, and continued: “We had Black members in Parliament. … Unfortunately, northern capitalists and southern landlords [ aghas] destroyed this unity and order.”
