The Capacity to make ANYTHING happen!!!!!!
We are an independent, grassroots event created to highlight and promote the endeavors of African descended peoples in the various fields of literature, from authorship, to publishing, to distribution. We are Sponsored by the Prosser-Truth Division # 456 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association & African Communities League. Our first ever festival was held on April 19, 2008, and are in the planning stages for our second festival in April 2009. We also try to promote other positive Back/African centered events going on throughout the country (festivals, conventions, fairs, literary, and cultural). We are more than just a one-time event...we are a movement!!!
It's about uplifitng our people, and informing the masses. It's not about I/Me...it's about WE!!!!!!
One God...One Aim...One Destiny!!!!!
