Sunday Aug 2 may be the day after Emancipation Day, but the love and joy will still be going strong at Vancouver Black Library for SUM gallery’s annual Emancipation Day Spoken Word Event. Valérie d. Walker, Siobhan Barker, and April Sumter-Freitag will share the mic to discuss the complicated history of what it means to be black and to be free. Black attendees are also encouraged to share their own writing or to share an excerpt from their favourite Black author, poet, or writer. Everyone is invited to this special afternoon at VBL!
