Join us for an evening of poetry! Come and listen to curated readings by Prince George's County poets as we explore the enduring power of poetic expression.
Remembering the Black Arts Movement is a multi-day symposium that presents panels, readings, and discussions centered on the writers, work, and impact of the Black Arts Movement. This movement, named for a group of motivated Black poets, artists, dramatists, musicians, and writers, emerged in the wake of significant civil rights activism and legislation. The event will shine a spotlight on the work and impact of notable writers from the movement, including Nikki Giovanni, Amiri Baraka, Ntozake Shange, Gil Scott-Heron, Sonia Sanchez, and Audre Lorde. Each day is designed to provide community members with the opportunity to meet each other, learn about the profound influence of the Black Arts Movement, and connect with local artists, scholars, and historians based in the DMV
