Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “Unity Is Our Strength: Surviving A Call to Action to End Poverty in Haiti” by Dr. Enock Alcine. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
In this powerful work, the author calls upon Haitians in the diaspora, those residing in Haiti, families, and friends to unite their talents, knowledge, and financial resources. The goal is to form a coalition and combat poverty, which continues to impact the lives of many of our brothers and sisters in Haiti. The message emphasizes that everyone is precious, has a purpose, and contributes to the collective effort like a piece of a puzzle. It’s a heartfelt call to action for solidarity and positive change.
