Hello, welcome and thank you for reading Genesis Black Science
Fiction Magazine. I can honestly say that I have been truly blessed
to be able to continue to gain support and success as we build this
foundation of this Genesis of the Black Science Fiction Movement.
It is truly a privilege to continue to work with such talented and
good people to make the goal of Black Science Fiction a reality.
Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream for us, Spike Lee told us to
wake up and our president Barak Obama is a realization of the
dream. We want to continue in that tradition of self reliance and
purpose by providing avenues for dreamers to realize their dreams
as well.
