SUMMARY:The New Negro: 100th Anniversary Celebration (in person only)
DESCRIPTION:OUTWRIGHT LTD and the Bureau present: \nThe New Negro: 100th Anniversary Celebration \nJoin us in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the publication of the groundbreaking anthology\, The New Negro: An Interpretation (New York: Albert and Charles Boni\, 1925)\, edited by the esteemed philosopher and “Dean of the Harlem Renaissance” Alain Locke. This was the first collection of writings by a cross section of African American essayists\, poets\, and novelists issued by a major publishing company for a wide American audience. This celebration will discuss the book’s history and impact\, as well as some of the key figures involved in its genesis\, including Jessie R. Fauset\, Georgia Douglas Johnson\, and Paul U. Kellogg. \nIn the words of scholar Henry Louis Gates\, the Harlem Renaissance was “surely as gay as it was Black.” \nRefreshments! Door Prizes! \nCopies of: \nThe New Negro\, by Alain Locke (Scribner Book Company\, 1999 [originally published 1925]\, paperback\, $24) \nand \nThe New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke\, by Jeffrey C. Stewart (Oxford University Press\, 2020\, paperback\, $31.99) \n\n\n\nwill be available for purchase. To reserve a copy of either/both\, please write to us in advance at contact@bgsqd.com with “please reserve The New Negro and/or the Alain Locke bio for September 6th event” in the subject line.\n\n\nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n  \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n\n\nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n\n\n\n  \nThe Bureau will solicit donations at the beginning of the event—we especially encourage donations from those who do not plan to purchase any books. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without a donation. \n\nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @BGSQD \nEven better: sign up to make a monthly tax-deductible donation to the Bureau! \n\nThank you for committing to sustaining this vital project! \n
