Additionally, the Book Fair will continue its tradition of paying special tribute to a literary legacy by honoring the African American novelist, playwright, poet, and social critic, James A. Baldwin (August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987) and the 1960’s: America’s Era of Social Change.  To learn more about the Lemiert Park Book fair, Click Here.  http://www.leimertparkbookfair.com/
