With numerous authors and illustrators participating, the event includes author presentations and readings, writing and art workshops, open mic poetry, performances, book signings, panel discussions, children’s story time, kid’s activities and more. The family-friendly event is free and open to the public. The African American Museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Free self-parking is available in nearby lots. The museum is located at 3536 Grand Ave. in Dallas. — Taylor Mayad
