Just Us Books Visits Havana International Book Fair 2019

Just Us Books had the great honor of participating in the Black Publishers and Writers Delegation visit to Cuba. Books brought us together; We attended the 28th Havana International Bookfair, which kicked off on Feb. 6 in Havana’s San Carlos de la Cabana fortress. But beyond books, our visit to Cuba was about discovering/deepening connections, supporting each other, and strengthening our communities together.
