The NAACP is the nation’s oldest and most respected civil rights organization.  With 100 years of service they are dedicated to representing and serving local communities and creating opportunities for every American including advancing literature and literacy initiatives.

Meet and greets, Presentation Panels, book signings and live In the Café with Mocha Show tapings are the heart of the NAACP Author Pavilion experience, which is designed to bring readers together with their favorite writers and poets

With chapters throughout the country, we are focused on four primary goals:

1. To provide a national forum in which authors are able to meet with readers in a non-traditional venue.
    
2. To encourage members to foster an environment in which literature can thrive within their own communities.
    
3. Collaborate with more public- and private-sectors in a collaborative effort to promote literature and arts education.
   Build individual appreciation of the value of the literacy and literature.
    
4. To achieve our goals, we partner with Authors, Publishers, local, state, and national arts organizations; government agencies; business leaders; individual philanthropists; educators; and book clubs throughout the country.
