Black History Month: Six Writers You Need to Read

  • Buffer

As Black History Month 2016 comes to close, we are also closing our tiny series on black authors. We say tiny because these are only six author snapshots among the many writers in the African-American community whose talent and creativity abounds. Although February is ending, we hope that these incredible authors will inspire you to delve into literary works by writers ranging from Langston Hughes to Tracy K. Smith. Each of these voices, Zora Neale Hurston, Alexandre Dumas, Nella Larsen, Maya Angelou, Ralph Ellison, and Octavia Butler, represents a body of literature bursting with innovation, creativity, beauty, and inspiration. These writers were not afraid to bring issues of race, violence, and oppression into the limelight through powerful stories and beautiful words. Read with us and tell us what you discover!
