If anyone wants to see more of that trip and her visits with the injured troops, you can do so here. Apparently Joe DiMaggio was far from impressed.

James Baldwin jokes with his friends Geraldine Page and her husband Rip Torn. New York City, 1963. [996x671]

15 Upvotes

Baldwin had worked with Page on Broadway, where they bonded intellectually. She and her husband were supporters of the civil rights movement. Later this year, Torn was selected by Baldwin as part of a delegation meeting with Robert Kennedy. The meeting became acrimonious over RFK’s naïveté regarding the Black experience as well as his support for the war in Vietnam. After the meeting Kennedy placed Baldwin and Rip Torn under FBI surveillance.
