🌟Our last feature for , Benazir Bhutto (1988-2007) was an unwavering leader fixed on bringing democracy to Pakistan. Her drive was so powerful that she left the country several times to protect herself and her family from the military regime that wanted to silence her. Unfortunately, they were successful in 2007, when Bhuotto came back from a self-imposed eight year exile to try and bring democracy back to her beloved Pakistan.

Bhotto first came into leadership of the PPP, Pakistan's People’s Party, in 1988 after a miltary coup overthrew her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Serving from 1988-1990 and 1993-1996, Bhotto struggled to pass legislation to address Pakistan’s critical issues of poverty and crime in her first term, but she made headway in her second term by bringing in foreign investment and implementing social programs. Her legacy has carried on through her husband, Asif Ali Zar serving as president from 2008-2013 and their son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who is currently running for office.

James Baldwin (1924-1987) writer and playwright most known for his works that explored racial and social issues during the civil rights movement such as “Go Tell it on the Mountain”, “Notes of a Native Son” and “The Fire Next Time”. He also broke ground when writing about taboo subjects such as homosexuality and in*******al relationships from his lived experiences. TIME magazine featured James on the cover in 1963 and stated, "There is not another writer — white or Black — who expresses with such poignancy and abrasiveness the dark realities of the racial ferment in North and South."

Wanting to reach a wide array of audiences, James wrote plays such as “Blues for Mister Charlie” to bring awareness to the racially motivated murder of Emmet Till which debuted on Broadway in 1964. The weight of despair from the ever tense racial situation began to weigh on James, but he continued writing poetry and essays to describe the impact of race on American culture. Teaching at University of Massachusetts Press and Hampshire College allowed Baldwin to further share his experiences and inspire future authors.

How has James Balwin’s literature impacted your life? We would love to hear from you!
