T
ulisoma, Swahili for "we read", is a community-based
literary festival promoting literacy and the arts
in the South Dallas/Fair Park area. Founded in 2003, by former City Councilman Leo V. Chaney, Jr.,
and Dr. Harry Robinson, President and CEO of the African American Museum, the goal of
Tulisoma
is to create a dynamic event tailored to engage local families, avid
readers, aspiring writers and visitors to the city. Councilwoman Carolyn R. Davis recognizes the importance of reading and literacy and
has worked to continue the tradition.
