Praise for the Harlem Book Fair
"Since the Harlem Book Fair, I've been crisscrossing the country but didn't want any more time to pass before I expressed my deepest gratitude for all you did to promote SPECTACLE. You brought the work to a national audience and also saw to it that the conversation took place at the Schomburg, which had long been my wish. I hope the fair was everything you wanted it to be. From where I stood, it was amazing. A triumph. Many, many thanks".
Pamela Newkirk, Author
Spectacle: The Astonishing Life of OTA BENGA
"The HBF weekend was really great and I was truly thrilled to be a part of it, not to mention honored to win the Wheatley Award. I discovered other books that I plan to buy and read and I made many contacts there that promise to be extremely useful as we launch another social media campaign, promoting A Light Shines as a Wheatley Award winner.
You and your staff did a superb job pulling off such a massive undertaking, and all of your hard work showed".
