Greetings Literary Family!
The Sankofa Literary Society is hosting 29 days of Black History totally online and over the telephone. It is a month celebration of our literature, art, music and community leaders. I would like for each of you to personally take part in the 29-day Black History Month Online Book Fair. This is a community event for all of us ages 6-106! Please visit the main site and post your articles, poems, stories, promotionc or answer the feeds already started. We are here to let all of our voices be heard! Join us as we make history Feb. 1-29, 2008. Authors, readers, activist, and the media are all welcomed to share feedback and suggestions toward making this event a powerful impact on our future generations.
Please support our African-American authors, poets, artists, and bookclubs by attending the daily chats in our chatroom and by calling in nightly to share in the informative panel discussions. We will discuss all aspects of the State of African-American people in 2008 and beyond. We are discussing literacy, our relationships, the AIDS epidemic, domestic violence, and paying tribute to those leaders working hard to bring about a positive change. Our central theme is: Our Vision Driven by Some Higher Power. The event takes place from one central site for the entire month of Feb. Check it out!
