More about Debate: Baldwin vs Buckley

“Is The American Dream At The Expense Of The American Negro?”

On February 18, 1965, an overflow crowd packed the Cambridge Union for a historic televised debate between James Baldwin - the voice of the civil rights movement - and William F. Buckley Jr., America’s leading conservative thinker.

It was a defining clash: Baldwin’s call for moral reckoning versus Buckley’s defense of the establishment, exposing the fractures at the heart of American democracy — divisions that still echo today.

In restaging this debate, Baldwin and Buckley’s words are told through contemporary voices. Sixty years later, the arguments remain sharp, the stakes undiminished, the question still urgent.
