KiKi Layne & Barry Jenkins

WTOP's Jason Fraley celebrates what would have been the 100th birthday of influential author and activist James Baldwin by flashing back to a 2018 interview with actress KiKi Layne, who starred in Barry Jenkins' brilliant film adaptation of Baldwin's 1974 novel "If Beale Street Could Talk." Rounding out this episode is a replay of Jenkins' conversation from a previous podcast, but it deserves to be heard again for the James Baldwin Centennial.
