African-American publishing will have a robust presence at this year's BookExpo America.
The revived African-American Pavilion will expand its space and exhibitors, and the annual conference of African-American Book Industry Professionals, set for May 31, will feature appearances by Rep. Charles Rangel and novelist Walter Mosley.
Launched in 2004 in Chicago, the African-American Pavilion at BEA will grow to 80 exhibitors, up from 35 last year. The pavilion, located in the 200 aisle, will expand in size from 4,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet. Amber Communications publisher and pavilion co-founder Tony Rose, who took over direction of the pavilion last year, has been named its executive director and heads a committee that oversees its operations. "Running the pavilion is a year-round job now," said Rose.
Rose credits the growth of the pavilion to an influx of young entrepreneurs (about a third of the exhibitors are self-publishers) who see publishing as a viable career path: "Many young African-Americans begin as self-publishers, learn about marketing and distribution and go on to build a business." Rose said this year's pavilion will feature "less street-lit, more self-help and literature.”
Alfonzo was born in Detroit, Michigan to a woman by the name of Susie Ann Rhymes. To this day, he has never known the pleasure of her voice or the security of her touch. His biological father, Thomas Tucker, took him from her when he was less than six months old. While living with Thomas, Alfonzo observed in him the behavior of a hustler, a pimp, a cocaine dealer, a heroin/crack addict and also a killer.
During his years growing up with Thomas, he learned all his techniques associated with crime and the criminal lifestyle. As a child, Alfonzo lived in a pit of stench and literal death, causing him to become mature about addictions and the world very early. He made the choice not to involve himself in a life of drugs and addictions. He lived with his biological father until he was thirteen years old. It was at this age when Social Services deemed his biological father an unfit parent.
