Originally presented on March 25, 2021: https://www.nysoclib.org/events/black-literature-matters-1900-1959
In this original series of live online events, hear the voices of Black writers through history re-examined to inspire understanding of race in our country today.
Black Literature Matters celebrates Black writers in four extraordinary evenings. This third event of the series features writers from 1900 through 1959 including James Baldwin, Gwendolyn Brooks, Anna Julia Cooper, W.E.B. Du Bois, Ralph Ellison, Lorraine Hansberry, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, LeRoi Jones, Paule Marshall, and Richard Wright.
Head Librarian Carolyn Waters and Columbia University's Dr. Farah Jasmine Griffin introduce the writers, their worlds, and the impact they had on readers of their time, with archival recorded samples of their own speech and dramatic readings by actors Shontelle Thrash and Geoffrey D. Williams.
As New York City's oldest cultural institution, we are honored to do our part to highlight the thousands of stories by African American writers contained within our building and acquired since the 1700s.
