The ultimate goal of the National Commission of Arts and Letters has been to boldly advance the black experience; highlighting the artistic contributions of African American people of the past and present and elevating them to public attention with particular emphasis on the positive roles of Black women. The programming is carried out via the Delta Authors, Delta Red Carpet, Pride in Our Heritage and Music Ministry subcommittees.

In its inaugural year, the Crimson Critique Book Club explored powerful stories that inspired thought, spark meaningful conversations, and celebrated the richness of our shared experiences. Each gathering featured engaging discussions centered on carefully selected books, while fostering fellowship, sisterhood, and a welcoming community where every voice is valued.

Whether an avid reader or simply enjoy great conversation, you’ll find connection, insight, and inspiration with every page we turn together.
