Join us and @BlackGarnetBooks in the ✨ The Midwest Black Book Fair ✨

All communities are welcomed to join us to honor stories of the resistance and uplift intersectional narratives of Blackness, Black history, and Black futurity. The fair will be held on 📆Saturday, August 22 during Black August—a month-long commemoration dedicated to honoring Black abolitionists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners. We are the stewards of these stories.

Black-owned/led literary partners include: @strivepub / @strive_bookstore, @babycakesbooks, @mninblackink, @griotartsmn, @givenscollection, @morethan1singlestory, @saintpaulalmanac, @plantingpeoplegrowingjustice, @mindseyecomicsmn, @wise_ink, @hellopicturebookparade, and @uhurubooks.

We’re looking for Black vendors, Black authors, and publishers who want to uplift Black narratives (apply by June 30). Support this event by donating, sponsoring, or volunteering!
