Still, when discussing this topic we tend to flatten the dynamic personalities and identities of the Black folk responsible for making this period so iconic in the literary sense. Not only in America, but as part of the entire Black diaspora. Hosted by Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes, It’s Lit! is a show about our favorite books, genres, and why we love to read. It’s Lit has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Hosted and Written by: Princess Weekes Director: David Schulte Executive Producer: Amanda Fox Producer: Stephanie Noone Editor: Mo Murphy Writing Consultants: Maia Krause Assistant Director of Programming (PBS): Gabrielle Ewing Executives in Charge (PBS): Brandon Arolfo, Adam Dylewski Produced by Spotzen for PBS Digital Studios.\n
