NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to The Lit Black Literary Journal!!
The Lit! was created for two reasons, to draw current and future Black autors and to entertain readers accross the globe. I came up with the idea a few years ago but, it wasnt until after I found a copy of FIRE!! when The Lit was birthed. Fire!! was an African-American literary magazine published in New York City in 1926 during the Harlem Renaissance. The publication was started by Wallace Thurman, Zora Neale Hurston, Aaron Douglas, John P. Davis, Richard Bruce Nugent, Gwendolyn Bennett, Lewis Grandison Alexander, Countee Cullen, and Langston Hughes. Fire!! provided a space and outlet for these authors to express themselves in a world and time that wanted to lynch their creativity. It seems similiar things are occuring now; books are being banned, authors are being liscended, and many don't know anything about getting published.
The mission of The Lit!, is simuliar; this literary masterpiece provides a space for Black writers and authors to freely share their stories, narratives, politics, and inspirations. Each story in this issue will make you reflect, love, smile or hug the author for making your day better.
Enough from me now, LET'S GET LIT!!!
