Turn The Page is a Queer, Black + Latinx- led collective of theatre/ multimedia artists that arose from the direct need to redistribute wealth into Black owned bookstores given the sudden influx of white readership around “anti racist” literature. We develop Black literature collections alongside our community partners from which our community of readers purchase; additionally, we curate events + conversations around these texts and raise money for our community partners' literacy programs. We’ve partnered with Source of Knowledge - one of only two Black owned bookstores in NJ - and have remained connected with them since. We've invited artists such as theater director Lileana Blain-Cruz, Dominique Morriseau, and Source of Knowledge owners themselves. We have raised over $12,500 for Source of Knowledge to date.
Thank you to Masani, Dexter, and Patrice who have welcomed us into their family. Source of Knowledge in Newark is our home.
