    James Baldwin wrote an essay in 1955 criticizing the way white Americans viewed civil rights issues. He argued that white Americans saw the civil rights movement as something happening far away when in reality racial injustice was all around them. Baldwin asserted that white Americans needed to take a hard look at themselves and address the racial prejudices and inequalities that existed much closer to home.
