Rivers Challenging the Genius PANELS and PROGRAMS at HBF2005 SATURDAY, JULY 23, Schomburg Center Hughes Auditorium PANEL DISCUSSIONS at HBF05 Renouncing Blackness: The Class Divide in Black America Location: Schomburg Center Hughes Auditorium Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. Introduction by: Dawn Davis (HBF Advisor) Moderator: Chris Jackson, Editor, Random House Panelists: Michael Eric Dyson (Is Bill Cosby Right, Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?), Juan Williams (My Soul Looks Back in Wonder: Voices of the Civil Rights Experience), Debra Dickerson (The End of Blackness), Cora Daniels (Black Power Inc.), Janice F. Kearney (Cotton Field of Dreams), Charisse Jones (Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America) Bill Cosby's criticisms of African Americans seem to bolster racial stereotypes and conveniently ignore many facts that would undercut his position. Since the victories of the civil rights movement black families have made great strides in improving education, economic opportunities and decreasing crime. Yet, we have reached a point where we have both the largest black middle class and the largest black underclass in our history. When Cosby says the "lower-class people" have let down the black community, where does he think the burgeoning black middle class has come from? Like other Americans, they came from families who sacrificed and worked hard to improve their lot. And for those families who are struggling, we should ask, "What can I do to help?" This panel furthers the discussion. Black Political Writing in the 21st Century Location: Schomburg Center Hughes Auditorium Time: 1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. Moderator: Wayne Dawkins (Rugged Waters: Black Journalists Swim Mainstream) Panelists: Bob Herbert (Promises Betrayed: Waking Up from the American Dream), Ron Walters (Freedom is not Enough), Jimmie Briggs (Innocence Lost: When Child Soldiers Go to War), Kevin Powell (Whose Gonna Take the Weight?), Yvonne Bynoe (Stand and Deliver: Political Activism, Leadership, and Hip Hop Culture) The Black Classics: Books That Speak Our Soul Location: Schomburg Center Hughes Auditorium Time: 3:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Introduction by: Moriba Jackson (Regional Librarian, Countee Cullen Library) Moderator: Herb Boyd (We Shall Overcome, Pound for Pound) Panelists: Vin Carretta (The Interesting Narrative and Other Writing), Reginald H. Pitts, (OUR NIG: Or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black), Ellese Southerland (Let Them Eat Straw), Mary Monroe (In Sheep’s Clothing) Books like Terri Woods’s True to the Game, J.L. King’s On the Down Low, any one of Zane’s erotica titles, and breakout bestsellers like BLING and GOTHAM DIARIES are now shaping readership perception. While this means stories by and about African Americans of all stripes are getting more play than ever, it also means the work of writers like James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and Lorraine Hansberry, authors whose work has become part of the African American cannon of literature—our classics; the writings of John Edgar Wideman, Gayl Jones, Paule Marshall, and Percival Everett, authors of our modern classics; and writers like Matt Johnson and ZZ Packer, whose writings are destined to become classic works get lost in the shuffle. The Black Classics: Books that Speak to My Soul is a frank discussion that will explore how an African American classic is made and what writers are making them. Books That Heal Location: Schomburg Center Hughes Auditorium Time: 4:30 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Introduction by: Kecia Palmer Cousins, HBF Advisor Moderator: Dr. Jarralynne Fletcher Agee (Psychologist, UC Berkeley) Panelists: Dr. Jeff Gardere (Love Prescription: Ending the War Between Black Men and Women), Dr. Hilton Hudson (Heart of the Matter), Deborah Mathis (What God Can Do), Eric Copage (Black Pearls), Salome El () We know that books entertain, educate and consume us but we have come to recognize that books can also heal. We are more likely to find solutions from trusted friends than from noted authorities. Our trusted friends are daring writers who have created a platform for us to acknowledge, understand and find transformative change from the challenges in our everyday lives. The Books That Heal panel consists of four inspirational authors who have helped find solutions in their love, familial and spiritual roles. New Books, New Scholarship from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Location: Schomburg Center Hughes Auditorium Time: 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Moderator: Howard Dodson (Jubilee: The Emergence of African-American Culture, In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience) Panelists: Sylviane Diouf (In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience), Christopher Moore (Fighting for America: Black Soldiers? The Unsung Heroes of World War II), Jacqueline D. Malone (Steppin' on the Blues: The Visible Rhythms of African American Dance). In addition to supporting research, scholarship and new books on the global black experience, the Schomburg Center's staff and research fellows are making major contributions to literature in the fields of African American and African Diaspora studies. Schomburg staffers present new perspectives on slavery, black migration, blacks in the military and the arts. SATURDAY, JULY 23, Harlem Hospital Auditorium PANEL DISCUSSIONS at HBF05 Urban Fiction and Erotica: Still Satisfaction Between the Sheets? Location: Harlem Hospital Auditorium Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. Introduction by: Troy Johnson (HBF Advisor) Moderator: Linda Gill (Publisher, BET Books) Panelists: Carl Weber (The Preacher's Son), Geneva Holliday (Groove), Darren Coleman, (Don't Ever Wonder), Victoria Christopher Murray (Grown Folks Business), Brenda Thomas (The Velvet Rope), Daimah Poole (What’s Real) Let's talk about sex-ploitation! Pick up any popular chick-lit, romance or girlfriend novel and you may be surprised at the amount of sexual content found in their pages. Have today's authors crossed the fine line between erotica and porn? Critics say yes. It’s all about the Benjamins – and sex does sell. But advocates say no, today's erotica and urban fiction writers are just giving the public what it wants. Our panelists will cover the topic from Anonymous to Zane. The Devolution of Hip Hop: Hip Hop Turns 30 Location: Harlem Hospital Auditorium Time: 1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. Moderator: Mark Anthony Neal (New Black Man) Panelists: Nelson George (Post-Soul Nation; Hip Hop America; Accidental Hunter); Greg Tate (Everything But the Burden: What White People Are Taking from Black Culture, ed.); Danyel Smith (Bliss); Bakari Kitwana (Why White Kids Love Hip Hop), Gwendolyn B. Pough (Check It Before I Wreck It) Ralph Ellison only hoped we'd translate black vernacular in such a way as to gain entry into the hallowed house of art. How could he know that Ralph Lauren would one day broker that vernacular's marketing prowess into a worldwide licensing deal for bed sheets writ large with Jay-Z's John Hancock? Where Hip Hop was once a buyer's market in which the audience decided what was street legit, it has now become a seller's market, in which what gets sold as hip hop is whatever the boardroom approves. This panel explores the life and breath of Hip Hop. The Enigma of Beauty: Airbrushed to Perfection Location: Harlem Hospital Auditorium Time: 3:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Introduction by: Krishan Trotman (HBF Advisor) Moderator: Lucille McEwen (Director, Harlem Community Congregations, Inc.) Panelists: Tia Williams (The Accidental Diva), Iman (The Beauty of Color), Akiba Solomon (Naked), Benide Little (Who Does She Think She Is?), Karrine Steffans (Confessions of a Video Vixen) What is "beauty"? Where along the line did beauty merge with perfection? And, most importantly, what type of beauty are we being exposed to through literature? This discussion will open eyes to the airbrushed images that bombard our entertainment, and therefore our culture. Perfection may sell, but arguably it is human diversity and flaw that makes life interesting, and beautiful. Why are we not seeing this reality reflected in the books we read and the images we see? Independent Black Publishing: From Start-up to Institution Location: Harlem Hospital Auditorium Time: 4:30 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Introduction by: Earl Cox (HBF Advisor) Moderator: Paul Coates (BCP Press) Panelists: Kassahun Checole (Africa World Press), Wade Hudson (Just Us Books), Tony Rose (Amber Books), Mark Anthony (QBoro Books), Jessica Care Moore (Moore Black Press) There is a huge resurgence of African-American authors on the literary scene. Many of them start out as self-published and acquire a deal with a major publisher, while others choose to remain independent and publish other aspiring authors who lack the means, but not the talent. These small press operations face many difficulties and several questions arise: What special difficulties do black publishers face when it comes to gaining major distribution? Even though so many black books are selling in today's market, do the publishers feel they are given the credibility they deserve from the rest of the industry or frowned upon as amateurs trying to capitalize on a quick buck? How do the publishers deal with the influx of aspiring authors who bombard them with manuscripts in hopes of publications and what specific things are they looking for in manuscripts/authors? What do they feel the future of black publishing holds? SATURDAY, JULY 23, Countee Cullen Library PANEL DISCUSSIONS at HBF05 The Future of Black Poetry Location: Countee Cullen Library Auditorium Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. Introduction by: April Silver, President, Akila Worksongs Moderator: Jessica Care Moore (Moore Black Press) Panelists: Ras Baraka (Black Girls Learn Love Hard), asha bandele (The Subtle Art of Breathing), MC Lyte (Just My Take), Chezia Thompson-Cager (When Divas Laugh), Mo Beasley (No Good Nigg@ Bluez) This panel takes a critical look at the evolution of black poetry as spoken and written word. It is an examination of current modes of black poetry (Slamming, Po'jazz, etc.) What new areas of poetic expression will be nurtured in the new millennium? Will spoken word CD's and other forms of multimedia replace books of verse? Art and Culture in the New Harlem: Boom or Bust? Location: Countee Cullen Library Auditorium Time: 1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. Introduction by: Munson Steed, Publisher, Rolling Out Magazine Moderator: Voza Rivers, Director, Harlem Arts Alliance Panelists: Howard Dodson, Herb Boyd, Debra Willis, Robert O’Meally Many lived through the Harlem Renaissance which was a wonderful time, filled with vibrant colors, sweet sounds, places to dance, eat and have fun, mos of all filled with culture. We've witnessed the other side of Harlem, the sad era- When the vibrancy was dormant, surrounded by many abandoned properties. Today we can say HARLEM, is going through a second Renaissance. The vibrant colors are clearly visible, the culture is embraced by many. New construction going up constantly. The question now becomes, is all the hype helping the native Harlemites-- are the developers thinking a affordable housing for those that add to the vibrant cultures and bring forth the culture to the masses? Where is this new era really taking us... Boom or Bust? Where Are the Books That Look Like Me? Location: Countee Cullen Library Auditorium Time: 3:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Moderator: Lynnette Velasco Panelists: Beverly Jenkins (Title: TK), Sharon Flake (Bang), Walter Mosley (47), Irene Smalls (Irene and the Big, Fine Nickle), Sharon Jerry-Collins, BlackBooksGalore/KidsCulturalBooks Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about building a rainbow; yet, books written and illustrated in broad spectrums of color, reflecting positive imagery, are precious few in library collections and still missing in significant action in our schools. This panel will explore the state of literature written for black children to include titles, imprints, marketing, subject matter ie: self esteem building, adolescent development, early childhood learning and connecting-family literacy. Guerrilla Marketing on the Internet and Beyond Location: Countee Cullen Library Auditorium Time: 4:45 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Moderator: Earl Cox, Earl Cox and Associates Worldwide Panelists: Troy Johnson (AALBC.com), Ron Kavanaugh (Mosaicbooks.com), Relentless Aaron (Push), Yasmin Shiraz (The Blueprint for My Girls: How to Build a Life Full of Courage, Determination & Self-Love) Discussion will focus on effective ways of marketing your books to a worldwide audience using the Internet and creative ways of marketing your book using proven offline. </b> SATURDAY, JULY 23, Countee Cullen Library, 2nd Fl, Conference Room A CONVERSATION WORKSHOPS at HBF05 More than Postage: The Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston and James Baldwin Stamps</b> Location: Countee Cullen Library, 2nd Fl, Conference Room A Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. Moderator: Monica A.
