About This Quote
James Baldwin said, “The word that will change a man must first show the man who he really is.” He was speaking about the power of words. The ability to change people is tied to the power of our words. For example, if someone is angry, they may use harsh words to express their anger. But it is the words themselves that really bring about change. They shape how we think about things and how we act.
