This new exhibit at the Rare Book & Manuscript Library celebrates the 75th anniversary of Gwendolyn Brooks’s Annie Allen—the poetry collection that won the first Pulitzer Prize for literature by a Black author—and explores the rich history of Black literature’s emergence into the mainstream. The exhibit will be on display through May 2025.
