The Antiracist Bookfest is the first and only book festival that brings together, showcases, and celebrates the nation’s leading antiracist writers and helps to prepare the writers of tomorrow.

Each April, the Festival showcases antiracist writers at American University’s Washington College of Law, assembling a day full of author panels and editorial workshops. Our engaging program draws together a vibrant crowd of authors and attendees committed to engaging in antiracist dialogue that will challenge, inspire, and mobilize.
