Literary Freedom Project

The Literary Freedom Project is committed to creating spaces that help leverage the power of books, culture, and education. Our programs value the variety of histories and cultures found in the Bronx and give residents places to build community and explore social engagement.

Since 1998, the Literary Freedom Project has centered books, culture, and education in its programming. Mosaic, a print and online magazine, highlights writers of African descent and offers lesson plans for educators. Launched in 2002, the Mosaic Literary Conference fosters literature-based creativity and professional exchange. One Book One Bronx, founded in 2017, hosts weekly book discussions on topics such as gentrification, social justice, women’s empowerment, racial inequality, and more.
