Minneapolis – Midwest Black Book Fair

About this event

The inaugural Midwest Black Book Fair, which honors stories of the resistance and uplifting intersectional narratives of Blackness, is a community-engaged event that honors Black stories and invites people from across the Midwest to participate. This family friendly event will feature Black book vendors, Black authors, book signings/readings, panel conversations, writing and publishing workshops, Black food vendors, and more! Held during Black August, the fair contributes to this month-long commemoration dedicated to honoring Black abolitionists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners. We are the stewards of these stories. Black Garnet Books is leading this initiative, partnering with local Black literary partners to advise on event production including: Strive Publishing & Bookstore, Babycake’s Book Stack, In Black Ink, Griot Arts, The Givens Collection, More Than a Single Story, Saint Paul Almanac, Planting People Growing Justice, Mind’s Eye Comics, Uhuru Bookstore, Network for the Development of Children of African Descent (NdCAD), and the MN Black Authors Expo.
