An Evening of Celebration with Black Poets and Authors in Celebration Square! 

Gregory Frankson, author of AfriCANthology, will be leading a presentation in Celebration Square with other Black artists, including Dwayne Morgan, to celebrate Emancipation Month. Hear and feel the power of spoken word-based performances that are sure to be memorable. After the readings, stay for a Q&A with the poets.
