Black Conventions

National Black Writers Conference [tweet this]

Mar 25th-28th 2010 • Medgar Evers College, Brooklyn, NY 11225

black, literary, writing,

Toni Morrison will be Honorary Chair for the Tenth National Black Writers Conference (NBWC). The conference will feature discussions, youth workshops, talkshops, author readings and signings. The theme of the Conference, And Then We Heard the Thunder: Black Writers Reconstructing Memories and Lighting the Way is taken from the title of John Oliver Killens’ novel on World War II. It draws upon the concepts of thunder, memory and light as a metaphor for both the historical representation of the literature of Black writers and the representation of new and future directions for contemporary and emerging literary voices.
