In our 70+ year history, the Harlem Writers Guild has been about affirming the Black experience. An experience that is often willfully misunderstood, the African American experience in this country has left countless cultural, social and political imprints on our society and influenced those in the African Diaspora as well.
In this pivotal moment in our nation's history, the Guild will continue to promote the literary work of Black writers. Expressions of Black life and culture have often been the target of erasure. One of our aims is to ensure that our history will not be distorted, devalued, or denigrated.
We are committed to Black literary excellence, and telling our stories. We use our collective voices to push for necessary, transformative changes in the same vein of John Henrik Clarke, Lorraine Hansberry, and Audrey Lorde.
The Harlem Writers Guild understands the necessity of proclaiming Black Lives Matter, and will continue to be a space of cultivating those who wish to tell our authentic stories.
