Our Voices This Time
A Short Film By
African American Literature Students

Mississippi State University 


Our Voices This Time is a short film inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and produced by students in Dr. Jervette R. Ward's African American Literature Class at Mississippi State University. This film is different from the original vision and plan, mainly due to the Coronavirus constraints, but we have learned a lot from our inspiration, James Baldwin, about what it means to write and produce work in imperfect times. We hope this film will inspire you to explore Baldwin's work and learn more about his writings on race, America, and facing the challenges of the moment. Follow @OurVoicesDoc on Twitter and Instagram to learn more about this project. #OurVoicesThisTime
