The African American Writers’ Alliance (AAWA) the Black Heritage Society of Washington State (BHS) present an evening of poetry and prose honoring Nelson Mandela’s legacy, where art meets activism in a powerful dialogue of remembrance. Through verse and narrative, we’ll trace how words fueled the anti-apartheid movement – as protest, prayer, and proof of our shared humanity, inviting reflection on how these enduring stories continue to shape our pursuit of justice today.

The African-American Writers’ Alliance, a diverse and dynamic collective of Seattle-area writers of African descent, provides an informal and supportive forum for new and published writers.
We help one another polish our skills, provide peer review, and create opportunities for public readings and other media venues. Ultimately the group encourages members to publish individually and collectively.
Our stories—triumphs, tragedies, and whatever is within and between the two—are the history of African Americans. We must tell our stories in our words and encourage others to do the same.
