Art and culture, our stories and our fantasies, are a crucial part of our lives. Fire & Ink is excited to continue in its mission to strengthen and nourish our creative community by rolling out Fire & Ink Presents! – a new initiative through which we are curating literary events at Black Pride Celebrations around the country.
Memorial Day Weekend 2008 brings the first in the Fire & Ink Presents! series, and we are starting it off on a high note. This year, in honor of the 18th Anniversary of D.C. Black Pride, Fire & Ink launches this exciting new program with a roster that will leave you jumping up and down and screaming for more.
