CCCADI celebrates National Literacy Month with a spotlight on Haitian authors!
Join us in collaboration with the Harlem Book Fair and Riverchild Media for a full-day symposium featuring authors:
You’re welcome to join us for one or all of the day’s conversations as we delve into themes of identity, lineage and Black literature as a form of revolution. Each author will be in dialogue with a guest moderator.
Bookseller Loc’d and Lit will also host a pop-up marketplace featuring all authors’ books.
Schedule of the Day:
10 AM: Doors Open
10:30 - 11:30 AM: Author Edwidge Danticat in conversation with Francesca Momplaisir
Noon - 1 PM: Author Roxane Gay in conversation with Ibi Zoboi
1:30 - 2:30 PM: Author Mildred Antenor in conversation with Peggy Samedi

As CCCADI continues its Lakay se Lakay theme, paying homage to the legacy of Haiti, the first independent Black nation in the world, this program offers attendees opportunities throughout the day to explore our current exhibition BYENVENI featuring the works of 11 Haitian Diasporic artists.
