About HBW

The Project on the History of Black Writing (HBW) has been in the forefront of research and inclusion efforts in higher education for over 30 years. Founded in 1983 at the University of Mississippi, Oxford, HBW is committed to (1) literary recovery work in black studies; (2) textual scholarship, book history and pedagogy; (3) professional development, curriculum change and innovation; (4) and, public literacy programming. This blog serves as a virtual extension of the HBW’s initiatives and as a venue for up-to-date information about the program.
