The festival will be featuring several authors and presenters on WebEx. Dr. Juan Tineo will lead a lecture discussing the impact of Langston Hughes in the Hispanic world. Other writers at the event include Malik Kirkwood, Kay Bell, Judy C. Andrews, and Eartha Watts-Hicks. Those interested in attending the virtual presentations must register to receive a link.
