Join Dr. Haki Madhubuti and Chaun Webster in a conversation about self-determination in Black writing, publishing and distribution. Elder Madhubuti, a widely published author and poet, is the founder of Third World Press, the oldest Black Publishing house in the world. Chaun Webster is also a widely published poet and graphic artist. This event continues a series of intergenerational discussions between African American creatives.

Join us on Feb. 11 for a free and open-to-the-public workshop focusing on Black family history, led by genealogist Mica L. Anders of Anders Genealogical Services.
