About this event


The joys and challenges of producing biographies of Black subjects will be the focus of a major national conference March 21-22, 2025, in Montgomery, Alabama, presented by BIO in collaboration with Troy University-Montgomery.

Telling the Stories of Black Lives through Biography is believed to be the first conference of its kind since the 1980s.
