Center for Black Literature 20th Anniversary Jubilee

Founded in October 2002, the Center for Black Literature (CBL) at Medgar Evers College, CUNY, has been committed to its mission to broaden and enrich the public’s knowledge and aesthetic appreciation of the value of Black literature.

To commemorate this milestone, we are hosting our 20th Anniversary Jubilee: A Cultural and Literary Arts Experience. Join us on October 20, 2022 in Brooklyn at Medgar Evers College. Honorary Committee Members GREG E. CARR, EDWIDGE DANTICAT, KAREN HUNTER, TALIB KWELI, CORNEL WEST, and the chair, SONIA SANCHEZ, will be in attendance. NIKOLE HANNAH-JONES is a supportive committee member but can’t join us in Brooklyn. Jubilee honorees TROY JOHNSON and CHERYL WILLS are confirmed to attend as well!

This celebration and fundraiser will be the festive event of the season! Join us on October 20, 2022, for what promises to be a memorable occasion.
