Welcome to Witness, the newsletter from Robert Jones, Jr. (formerly known “Son of Baldwin”), author of The New York Times bestselling novel, The Prophets.

Molded in the Black tradition of “witnessing,” this newsletter critically explores topics like film, literature, music, politics, television, theater, and more via (often polemical) creative writing and essays.

This is a pro-Black, pro-LGBTQIA2S+ publication that ultimately seeks common ground in the interest of ending mass exploitation and oppression, and dismantling the structures and systems that uphold human misery.

Witness will also keep readers updated on news and information relating to Jones’s upcoming author events and future projects. To book Robert Jones, Jr. as a speaker for events and institutions, please visit his website: https://www.sonofbaldwin.com/contact/.
