THIS EVENT HAS TAKEN PLACE AND IS RECORDED HERE AS AN HISTORICAL ARCHIVE. |
For the first time, the NAACP will sponsor an author pavilion during its annual
convention, to be held this year in Detroit July 7-12. The pavilion will feature
presentations by 40 book authors, including presidential hopefuls Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton, in addition to her husband, former president Bill Clinton.
The Author Pavilion was created and organized by Mocha Ochoa, an independent
literary event planner, who also plans to launch an Internet TV show, In the
Cafe with Mocha, that will kick off at the NAACP convention and feature
interviews with 10 authors by Ochoa. The interviews will be streamed over the
Web and be available through the NAACP Web site (NAACP.org) and at Ochoa's site,
theoraclegroup.net.
