The Los Angeles Central Library in downtown L.A. hosted a sit-down discussion on Feb. 8 between Emmy and Tony award-winning actor Courtney B. Vance and moderator/actor William Allen Young to discuss Vance’s book, “The Invisible Ache: Black Men Identifying Their Pain and Reclaiming Their Power” in celebration of African American Heritage Month.
On Saturday, November 5, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., the 15th annual Leimert Park Village Book Fair (LPVBF) took place virtually. Hosted by Jasmine Sanders, co-host of the nationally-syndicated “DL Hughley Radio Show,” the event was free and open for all to enjoy. The family-oriented event is based in the heart of Leimert Park and according to LPVBF, “the mission is to promote, encourage and advocate literacy, education, and the love of reading throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.”
The family-oriented event is held in the heart of Leimert Park, widely considered to be the center of the African American arts/intellectual scene in L.A.
The local book fair has 100,000 attendees as well as hundreds of authors, poets, artists and community leaders over the past 10 years.
