The Literary Freedom Project creates free, inclusive spaces for communities to connect through books, weekly discussions, and public presentations. Our programs celebrate the diverse cultures of the Bronx and New York City while building community through shared stories, dialogue, and the literary arts.

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.
