Schomburg Center Literary Festival
June 14 - June 19
This year, the day-long book festival has been reconfigured as a virtual festival taking place over six days as the Schomburg Center’s doors remain temporarily closed due to COVID-19. Throughout the week, our featured authors and books will help us explore concepts of freedom, culminating on June 19, also known in the United States as Juneteenth, a day in 1865 marking freedom for enslaved people in Galveston, Texas.
