🎙️ New Podcast Alert! Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey of the Black Experience through the lens of Howard University students, faculty and staff! HU2U, a voyage into the heart of Howard University’s scholars. 

This week’s episode: Preserving the Black Experience

The Moorland-Spingarn Research Center is the largest and most comprehensive repository of books, documents, and ephemera on the global Black experience, including the personal and official papers of Kwame Nkrumah, Paul Robeson, Elaine Locke, Mary Francis Berry, and many others.

Two years ago, a 1996 Howard Alumnus returned to campus to lead the center. Amongst the many ways he’s rejuvenating it is by establishing an international black writer’s festival.

Dr. Benjamin Talton is an African studies scholar and author, and Director of the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center (MSRC) at Howard University. He’s also the lead organizer for the MSRCs International Black Writers Festival, which will take place September 26th - 29th 2023.

Host Kweli Zukeri and Dr. Talton discuss the work of the research center in this episode, banning books, how the MSRCs International Black Writer’s Festival came to be, why we gather, and everything coming up at this years event.
