“Lit in The Fifth” is a one-day literary event celebrating African-American women in literature.

“Lit in The Fifth,” created by Afrikanah Book Club, highlights the African-American literary tradition while also making literature more accessible to Houston’s historic Fifth Ward community. Focusing on the voices of African-American women in literature, the event will feature a full day of literary activities including author talks and readings, workshops in creative writing and bookmaking, dramatic presentations, literary vendors, a book drive, and poetry performances. It is a part of a longer, permanent project to build a bookstore in Fifth Ward.

TPM Writer-in-residence, Lindsay Gary, will be signing copies of her latest book The New Red Book, published by The Printing Museum. Learn more.
