In the wake of increasing censorship and the ongoing fight against the erasure of Black authors’ works, this initiative seeks to combat “Black History Illiteracy” and ensure that the profound impact of Black experiences and contributions to America is recognized and celebrated. By building home libraries with FREE books that celebrate our heritage, we aim to instill in our youth the understanding that “WE MATTER.” Key Features:
- Vendor Participation:

- This is an excellent chance for businesses and artisans to connect with a diverse audience and promote their offerings.
- Free Classes:
- Aspiring writers can attend free classes designed to hone their skills. o Topics may include crafting compelling narratives and understanding the publishing process.
- Performances and Workshops:
