The Year of X
Kulturally LIT FEST , and we're back for our 6th annual celebration on Saturday, Oct 4, 2025! Our theme this year is "The Year of X" honoring the centennial year of Medgar Evers and Malcolm X. The LIT Fest program is aimed at inspiring action, critical thought, and community building. It offers a platform to engage deeply with the lives of these revolutionary leaders, their ideas, and the transformative power of their work while opening dialogue about the social movements of today.
