SLS BLACK HISTORY MONTH ONLINE BOOK FAIR
EDC Creations and The Sankofa Literary Society will host 28 days of Black History! This spectacular ONLINE event will be the first of its kind! An entire month long celebration brought to the world via the Internet and modern technology. You can meet today's brightest stars from the comfort of your own home! Each day of February, 2008 there will be a featured day to discuss Everything About People of Color! Celebrating our past, future, and the life changing successes we are creating NOW. Daily we will host noon-day radio chats, blog chat tours, and all day chat-room visits with readers, video blogging, and e-workshops for writers.
Each night there will be exclusive private chats with authors and book clubs on the phone chat line, as well as public panel discussions on the radio. All panel discussions will be recorded and streamed to an open SLS site for the world to hear and take part in. Society will be able to view our community leaders, literature, music, and arts in an entirely new light, at the SLS Black History Site!
We are asking people in the community to take part in this event too! We want readers and book lovers around the world to let their voices be heard! This event is for YOU and about YOU. 2008 should be a year of change and growth; we need your wisdom to make it happen.
