Africana Arts & Humanities Festival (AAHF) at African-American Research Library and Cultural Center

The Africana Arts & Humanities Festival in 2026 will take place from March 27-28 at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center. This year's theme, "We, Too, Sing America: 250 Years of Black Life and Culture," draws inspiration from Langston Hughes' poem and celebrates the significant contributions of Black communities to American history. The festival brings together scholars, artists, and families for a dynamic exploration of Black life through lectures, performances, and cultural exhibits, featuring notable speakers like Karsonya Wise Whitehead, Kellie Carter-Jackson, and Randal Maurice Jelks. This event serves as a platform for meaningful dialogue, artistic expression, and intergenerational learning.
