Before her passing in November 2006 at age 56 years, Ms. Campbell also contributed her creativity and resources as a member of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, having won their 2003 Outstanding Literature Award and, in helping found the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill chapter locally.
For all that she did as a writer and an activist, Bebe Moore Campbell will be paid homage during the historic first Leimert Park Village Book Festival.
Beginning at 10 a.m., Saturday, June 30, 2007, "Celebrating Our Literary Legacy: Our Heritage, Our Words, Our Stories," will be held in the Leimert Park Village Visions Theatre Parking Lot at Degnan Blvd and 43rd Street, Los Angeles.
Produced by Cynthia E. Exum and Associates, in conjunction with 8th District City Councilmember Bernard C, Parks.
