Through panel discussions, roundtables, readings, films and workshops, writers, scholars, literary professionals and the general public will gather over four days to discuss themes and raise questions related to how and whether Black writers write texts with race at the core and embrace difference in the aesthetics, belief systems, and politics, etc. in the texts they compose and in the issues they address in their writing.
