Black Scranton Project

The U.S. Attorney General was in Wilkes-Barre yesterday for a roundtable on fentanyl with other state, federal and local officials. And we have some banned book recommendations in the latest episode of Bookmarks.

Each person who stepped up to the mic during the Banned Books Brunch read from a book that has been either challenged or banned in the time since its publication. This edition of BOOKMARKS shares some recommendations from among the banned.

The Black Scranton Project marked Juneteenth 2026 with a Friday afternoon open house at its Center for Arts & Culture on North Main Avenue.

Northeast and Central Pa. commemorates 100 years of Black History with arts, cultural and educational events across the region.

To celebrate our year of reading with Bookmarks, we asked some past participants to recommend their favorite read of 2025. Let the 2026 to-be-read pile begin.

Glynis Johns, CEO of the Black Scranton Project, hopes the organization's annual Juneteenth Jubilee can become one of Scranton's "big three" events. Plus, make some more weekend plans with Haley's Happy Hour.

The Black Scranton Project held its annual Juneteenth Jubilee during the federal holiday. People of all ages roller skated and checked out vendors from across the region.

From film screenings and Super Bowl watch parties to lectures and historical walking tours, the region will celebrate Black history throughout the month.

Black Scranton Project will partner with We Respect and Care (WRC), an organization that supports survivors of sexual abuse, to offer a free community health fair.

February is Black History Month, and the perfect time to enjoy the work of Black authors writing across genres.
