Paris On My Mind gives the truths of the past for its readers to become victors instead of victims over social conflicts. The first two chapters give the author's early connection with Paris since his hometown, St. Joseph, Missouri, had a French founder, Joseph Robidoux. After participating in a conference, "A Language To Dwell In: James Baldwin, Paris, and International Visions" at the American University in Paris in May 2016, the author wrote his book. Baldwin depended on religion and the wisdom of the past in confronting social ills. Blacks, Whites, young, and old can use the wisdom of the past to conquer their adversaries.
