KUUMBA IMPRESARIO PRODUCES SANKOFA BOOK FAIR AT NBEA 53RD ANNUAL CONFAB-CHICAGO

Effective immediately, KUUMBA IMPRESARIO (KI) has taken on the task of promotionally organizing SANKOFA BOOK FAIR (SBF) as the book vendors component of the NATIONAL BLACK EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION (NBEA) 53RD ANNUAL CONVENTION ("Cush Cries Out!  Christ Answers!" Part II) organized in Chicago from April 20-23, 2016, Wednesday Noon to Saturday Noon, at Marriott Midway Hotel, 6520, S. Cicero Avenue, Chicago IL.

"We are pleased to take on the challenge, issued by NBEA General Chair Rev. Russell Knight, to organize the book vendors component of NBEA'S land mark 53rd Annual Convention" says Pastor Joel Washington (Khunanpu Sangoma) operating also as Kuumba Impresario (KI).

"Our goal is to turn NBEA's book vendors component into a mini Africana Studies and Black Theology book fest" says Pastor Washington (Sangoma).   "We hope to involve a representative cross-section of major national, local, and small press book sellers catering to the Black Books market, especially its Africana Studies and faith-based readership, at the upcoming NBEA 53rd Annual Convention here in Chicago" the Pastor stated.

"The net proceeds from NBEA'S SANKOFA BOOK FAIR will go to defraying the expenses of NBEA'S upcoming Chicago convention" observed Pastor Washington (Sangoma).    

SANKOFA BOOK FAIR is an activity of SANKOFA FORUM: ADLA & NBEA Chicago Elder Lions for Africana Studies Education (SF).  ADLA is an abbreviation for the African Descent Lutheran Association that is an autonomous, ethnic specific, association within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America-ELCA .  Elder Lions is an Africana seniors affinity group from within both NBEA & ADLA.  

KUUMBA IMPRESARIO serves as the CEO of SANKOFA BOOK FAIR (SBF).  It works inside and outside both NBEA and ADLA and serves as a member of both initiatives.
