We’re continuing our Inside Third World Press Tours with a special experience honoring the life and legacy of Gwendolyn Brooks ahead of her June 7 birthday.

This special June 2nd tour of Third World Press Foundation explores the life and work of Gwendolyn Brooks, Pulitzer Prize winning poet, mentor, and cultural mother to Dr. Haki R. Madhubuti.

Through her poetry, Brooks documented the beauty, complexity, and everyday realities of Black life. Her commitment to nurturing young writers and building literary communities helped shape generations of artists throughout Chicago and beyond.

As we move through the halls of Third World Press, we’ll explore Brooks’ connection to the Black Arts Movement, her relationship to Black publishing, and the ways her work continues to inspire readers, writers, and cultural workers today.

We hope to see you 😊

As we celebrate Malcolm X this month, we’d like to invite you to a very special tour! Step inside one of the most important independent Black publishing houses in the world for an experience grounded in cultural storytelling and in honor of Malcolm’s legacy.

Third World Press Foundation will be in Brooklyn, NY this Saturday with our friends at the Black Zine Fair ✨

We’re very excited to be part of this celebration of all things Black + Independent publishing.

At the fair, we’ll be offering rare volumes of our literary journal, “Black Books Bulletin” which was first published in 1971. The journal served as sort of a literary portal between Black Power and Black Arts histories and futures that anchored readers in the sociopolitical landscapes of the 1970, while anticipating obstacles and articulating pathways to Black self-determination.

If you’re in NY🍎
this Saturday,
