18th National Black Writers Conference
18th National Black Writers Conference
Expanding Conversations on Environmental Justice, Popular Culture, Resilience, and Peace. A community gathering for the writer and reader. Black writers have long transformed lived struggle into powerful art—illuminating truth, inspiring action, and imagining new futures. The 18th National Black Writers Conference brings together voices from across the African diaspora whose words challenge boundaries and empower change. Their stories, poems, scholarship, screenplays, and plays explore the struggle for civil and human rights, confronting injustice while inspiring hope, strength, and transformation. Join us as we celebrate the writers who use literature to spark dialogue, deepen understanding, and sustain us through challenging times.
