ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin centers on the story of Tish Rivers, a young pregnant woman in Harlem, whose fiancé, Fonny Hunt, is unjustly incarcerated. The narrative follows Tish and her family as they navigate the racist and flawed legal system in their fight to prove Fonny's innocence and secure his release before their baby is born. The book explores themes of love, family solidarity, and the devastating impact of racial prejudice on their lives and community as they confront systemic injustice. Their struggle highlights the emotional and societal challenges faced by Black individuals and families caught in the web of a biased judicial process.
