Harlem Book Fair 2008!

We are heading down to New York City today to attend the 10th annual Harlem Book Fair, the largest black-oriented literary event in the United States. This is a great event for those of you who support the future of literacy and cultural sustainability in the African Diaspora.

If you can't come to New York this weekend, you can still participate by watching it on Book TV. Scheduled authors to appear include activist Amiri Baraka, journalists Herb Boyd and Cora Daniels and former Jamaican first lady Beverley Manley.

Of course, Global Wire will be reporting on this year's participating authors as well as the hottest topics in black arts and letters.
