Welcome

 The Literary (‘LIT’) Minute is a web series produced by The WRITE Professor and the S. Denise Johnson Foundation in an effort to raise awareness and to resolve issues stemming from the educational oversight and exclusion of canonical writing that provides cultural enrichment to student education in black communities worldwide. 


The 'Black LIT TV' button will take you to our YouTube Channel with all of our content, which includes our new shows, 'Scholars & Prose' and 'Poetic Conversations'.


'Scholars & Prose' has already won a City-Sponsored 2021 Artist Grant Award!!!


Be sure to subscribe to our channel, enjoy, get involved, and spread the word!
