Chicago Critics Circles: Part I (Black Authorship) August 22, 2026
Part of Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series, this conversation centers Black publications as sites of cultural production, political imagination, and narrative control. Featuring a crucial network of local critics, writers, and cultural workers dedicated to archiving, amplifying, and shaping the documentation and interpretation of Black life, this discussion examines the role of self-determination and narrative sovereignty in A Century of Black Progress.
