TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF AUTHOR BEBE MOORE CAMPBELL
(Authors, Poets, Panelists and Volunteers Needed)
Few authors could touch the spirit the way best selling novelist and journalist Bebe Moore Campbell did. During her short tenure on earth, she was able to weave words into four best selling novels. Offering up hearts, lives and souls in her bestsellers, "Brothers and Sisters," "Singing in the Comeback Choir," "What You Owe Me," and "72 Hour Hold," Ms. Campbell provided the world a poignant, but pleasurable peek at issues impacting African Americans.
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.
