Greetings,
Since our last post we’ve been hard at work and we’re excited to announce the completion of nine fully digitized Soulbooks! Soulbook was a periodical beginning in 1964 that featured essays, poems, reflections, cartoons, and other artistic works intended to further the liberation of Black peoples. Internationalist in scope, major topics of focus included jazz, poetry, economics and anti-imperialism. Some of the most interesting writers, poets and artists of the Black Arts Movement contributed to Soulbook and for those interested in the cultural side of the Black Liberation Movement, these are must sees!
