The Festival
The MSRC International Black Writers Festival at Howard University carries forward Howard University’s proud tradition of celebrating and debating global Black literature, activism, culture, and politics.
The 2024 Festival will bring together preeminent African and African diasporic scholars, journalists, essayists, and fiction and non-fiction writers for debate, discussion, readings, and fellowship. Our goal is to come together as ONE to engage the diversity, complexity, and beauty of writing the global Black experience.
