Description
"Aunt Tina," the fourth short story that James Baldwin wrote for "The Magpie," may have been the inspiration for some of the fictional characters that James Baldwin would go on create in his later years. In addition, Dr. Roberts argues that "Aunt Tina" may have been inspired by people that young Baldwin either knew, or knew about. .
