📍 104 North Greenwood Avenue
🗓️ May 31 & June 1, 2025
🕚 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Hosted by @AskAngela, this two-day celebration brings together dynamic Black authors who are keeping the legacy of Greenwood alive through powerful storytelling, cultural expression, and community impact. These authors are not just writing books—they’re writing history.

📚 Featured Authors:

Dr. Angela K. Chambers, author of Change Your Life in 21 Days of Good Habits and several other books focused on entrepreneurship.

✊🏾 Honoring the Resilience of Black Wall Street

The Greenwood District, once known as America’s Black Wall Street, was nearly destroyed during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Yet, more than 100 years later, its heartbeat continues through its people, businesses, and unshakable spirit.

Greenwood Literary Voices honors that legacy—amplifying Black voices that were once silenced and now speak with power, purpose, and pride.
