🗓️ Sat. Feb 21 • 3PM
Join us as we uplift revolutionary literature and recommit to the fight for the liberation of Black people and all oppressed peoples worldwide. We’ll be ringing in this Black & Red Books Day with a conversation with Manolo De Los Santos & Rosemari Mealy on the struggle for Black liberation and socialism, and celebrating revolutionary culture with a performance by Desiree Jaha and screenprinting in the evening!
Each year, The People’s Forum and thousands across the world commemorate Red Books Day, an international celebration of radical literature and political education, observed on or around February 21—the publication date of The Communist Manifesto. The day honors revolutionary texts that have inspired organizing and people’s movements around the world.
In 2026, we proudly celebrate Red Books Day alongside the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, bringing together two traditions of resistance and struggle. This year’s Black & Red Books Day centers Black revolutionaries and the radical writings that continue to shape global liberation movements.
