As Black History Month draws to an end, the Black Affairs Council is sponsoring the visit of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks.

The free event will take place 6:30 tonight in the Lesar Law Building Auditorium.

Brooks won a Pulitzer Prize for her poem Annie Allen in 1950. In 1968 she became Poet Laureate of Illinois. She also has received two Guggenheim Fellowships and served as Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress.
