In 1950, wordsmiths/scholars/activists Rosa Guy, John Oliver Killens, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Willard Moore, and Walter Christmas founded the Harlem Writers Guild (HWG) to develop and aid in the publication of works by writers of the African Diaspora. It has been in continued existence since its inception, making it the longest running African American literary organization.

To all supporters of the Harlem Writers Guild:
Today, we regretfully announce that someone near and dear to us all has transitioned to join our ancestors. We are sad to inform you that Ms. Grace F. Edwards died on February 28th, 2020, from natural causes.
Ms. Edwards has represented the Harlem Writers Guild for decades, as our leadership, long-time Director and Secretary Emeritus. Many of you became familiar with Ms. Edwards through one of the many facets of her life and life’s work—past students, faculty, fellow writers, educators, colleagues, among countless others. In addition to serving as a professor of creative writing for multiple universities, Grace Edwards often extended herself to such community programs as the 92nd Street Y, the once-popular Frederick Douglass Creative Arts Center, and other networks to facilitate affordably priced writing workshops for otherwise economically disenfranchised writers in our community.
To celebrate her life, achievements, her dedication to educating writers, her mentorship, as well as her immeasurable contribution to the longevity of the Harlem Writers Guild, we hope to reach out with more information soon. All plans have been suspended due to New York City’s shutdown, amid the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We thank you for your commitment to our collective as we grow in our creative journey and share our publications. We wish you all peace and joy in these strange and troubled times. And of course, we look forward to seeing you again.
Sincerely,
Members of the Harlem Writers Guild

Peace of mind is everything. #MeditationTechniquesForBeginners #MeditationTecnniquesForCityDwellers #CityLife JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/StillintheCity/ Thought Leaders in cities across America come together in an anthology to share how they maintain a peaceful mindset when life gets chaotic in chaotic environments. They have collaborated and released a book on Mindfulness Meditation Practices, called STILL, IN THE CITY. It is edited by Angela Dews, pictured here with contributor. Editorial Reviews “Both practical and poetic, Still, in the City provides enormously helpful advice on how to undertake serious dharma practice where the vast majority of us actually live. This is a beautiful, rich anthology that fills a critical gap in the literature.” —Sumi Loundon Kim, Yale University, author of Sitting Together: A Family-Centered Curriculum on Mindfulness, Meditation, and Buddhist Teachings “This is a book for those whose spiritual practice lives in the fierce light of day. As a New Yorker, a collection of authentic, personal expressions like these are critical…. Still, in the City is as critical for beginners interested in exploring mindfulness practice as it is for those devoted to the justice, equity, and love of a fully expressed Buddhadharma.” —Greg Snyder, Senior Director & Associate Professor of Buddhist Studies, Union Theological Seminary, Dharma Teacher & Senior Priest, Brooklyn Zen Center BUY: https://www.amazon.com/Still-City-Creating-Peace-Midst/dp/1510732330/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=still%2C+in+the+city+dews&qid=1570222573&s=books&sr=1-1 #StillInTheCity #AngelaDews
