The Center for Black Literature at Medgar Evers College Celebrates The Ninth National Black Writers Conference: Black Writers: Reading & Writing to Transform Their Lives & the World

Friday, March 28, 2008 - Sunday, March 30, 2008

Medgar Evers College will offer panel discussions, readings, workshops and conversations to focus on the ways in which black writers use literature to transform their lives and the larger global community. Inspired in 1986 by the late John Oliver Killens, the National Black Writers Conference was convened to bring together writers, critics, book-sellers, book reviewers, and the general public to discuss issues affecting black writers. Since 1986 the National Black Writers Conferences at Medgar Evers College have attracted a wide range of writers and scholars from the African diaspora.
