About this event
A night of tribute in the Great Hall to Sonia Sanchez, the Black Arts Movement poet, activist and teacher whose work has shaped American letters for sixty years. Expect readings and testimony from those who have worked alongside her, in a room that has hosted this kind of gathering since Lincoln's day.
Why we picked it
A celebration of a living literary giant, in one of New York's most storied public rooms, at no cost.
