“If we do not fund and protect our own institutions, others will decide our futures for us.”
-Dr. Haki R. Madhubuti
For nearly 60 years, Third World Press has been more than a publisher. We’ve been a vessel for Black truth, scholarship, and cultural empowerment.
Born from the vision of a young poet named Don L. Lee and nurtured by legends like Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret and Charlie Burroughs, and Hoyt W. Fuller, TWP has become a home for voices like Sonia Sanchez, Gill Scott-Heron, Dr. Carl Bell, and so many others.
