My Soul to Keep:

​Join Melissa Hunter Davis founder of Sugarcane Magazine, an internationally lauded digital and print platform dedicated to global Black art & culture, in an engaging, thoughtful and dynamic conversation with Angela Franklin about the pieces in MY SOUL to KEEP.

Angela Franklin is a phenomenal artist; she and Phyllis Jeffers Coly are excited to offer My Soul to Keep as our Dak'Art, Biennale de Dakar OFF experience. It reflects many of the warm, laughter-filled (and sometimes teary) exchanges they have had since meeting several years ago.

The Virtual Gallery featuring MY SOUL TO KEEP opens on Tuesday, 14 June and can be found at https://lnkd.in/g4rfGA4S   

You can also join the gallery talk scheduled for
 16 June 2022 - 7:00 PM EST|11:00 GMT at this same link.


Talking about CHEZ ALPHA BOOKS


New Arrivals in the Lending Library

     Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth's water from harm and corruption--a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.
     Two great-grandchildren ask their grandmother 15 questions about the man they remember as Grandad, and the world remembers as Nelson Mandela, the global icon of peace and forgiveness who spent 27 years in prison. They learn that he was a freedom fighter who put down his weapons for the sake of peace, and who then became the President of South Africa and a Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and realise that they can continue his legacy in the world today. 
     The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson.
